General Personal Injury FAQs — Valentine

• ❓What should I do if Safe Auto Insurance says “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” after my Valentine crash?
  Insurers like Safe Auto Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like basilar skull fracture can be life-changing. In Valentine, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a award confirmed during arbitration — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.32M.
• ❓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 award confirmed during arbitration. Our case histories include results such as 2.33M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Valentine.
• ❓An adjuster told me “There’s a question about your seatbelt use..” Can a Valentine personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Grange Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a structured settlement agreement reached and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., CSAA Insurance Group) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a auto mechanic pinned under vehicle with tongue laceration and avulsion, 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 Valentine?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Valentine allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like cranial fracture with cerebrospinal fluid leak. Don’t accept “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.” at face value.
