General Personal Injury FAQs — Van Vleck

• ❓An adjuster told me “The collision was too minor to cause injury..” Can a Van Vleck personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The collision was too minor to cause injury.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like California Casualty. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case resolved during jury deliberation and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., NJM Insurance Group) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a school crossing guard struck by vehicle with rotator cuff tear, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓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 jury award issued in civil trial at 23rd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.18M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Van Vleck.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Van Vleck?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” 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 Van Vleck allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like jaw fracture (mandibular). Don’t accept “The vehicle damage was minor.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if Safeco says “We’re still investigating liability.” after my Van Vleck crash?
  Insurers like Safeco often use lines such as “We’re still investigating liability.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like TMJ dysfunction from impact can be life-changing. In Van Vleck, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury award issued in civil trial at 23rd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.0M.
