General Personal Injury FAQs — Stamford

• ❓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 seven-figure award granted in 39th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.61M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Stamford.
• ❓What should I do if Mercury Insurance says “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.” after my Stamford crash?
  Insurers like Mercury Insurance often use lines such as “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like chemical burns to face or limbs can be life-changing. In Stamford, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a seven-figure award granted in 39th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 996K.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Stamford?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The police report is inconclusive.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Patriot Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a Uber driver with metacarpal fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Your injury doesn’t meet our definition of serious..” Can a Stamford personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “Your injury doesn’t meet our definition of serious.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Homesite Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation 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 Stamford allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like fractured humerus. Don’t accept “You can’t prove emotional distress.” at face value.
