General Personal Injury FAQs — Vinton

• ❓What should I do if Erie Insurance says “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” after my Vinton crash?
  Insurers like Erie Insurance often use lines such as “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like extensor tendon injury can be life-changing. In Vinton, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a pre-trial settlement in 168th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.19M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Vinton?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.,” 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 pre-trial settlement in 168th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.95M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Vinton.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Allstate) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a commuter hit in crosswalk with dislocated patella, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Vinton allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like laryngeal fracture. Don’t accept “The medical records aren’t sufficient.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t report the injury immediately..” Can a Vinton personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t report the injury immediately.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Penn National Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a pre-trial settlement in 168th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
