General Personal Injury FAQs — South Houston

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Shelter Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a passenger in rollover crash with burst vertebral fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in South Houston?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You’re not permanently impaired.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓Do I have to take a low offer or can we fight for a better result?
  You never have to accept a lowball. We negotiate hard with insurers, and when needed we move toward a verdict rendered after trial in 182nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.11M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in South Houston.
• ❓What should I do if California Casualty says “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” after my South Houston crash?
  Insurers like California Casualty often use lines such as “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like acetabular fracture can be life-changing. In South Houston, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a verdict rendered after trial in 182nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 782K.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You can’t prove emotional distress..” Can a South Houston personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You can’t prove emotional distress.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Westfield Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury awarded damages in 182nd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in South Houston allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like hearing loss due to head impact. Don’t accept “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” at face value.
