General Personal Injury FAQs — West Orange

• ❓What should I do if State Farm says “You can’t prove emotional distress.” after my West Orange crash?
  Insurers like State Farm often use lines such as “You can’t prove emotional distress.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like distal radius fracture can be life-changing. In West Orange, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 260th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.38M.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in West Orange allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like closed pelvic ring fracture. Don’t accept “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.” at face value.
• ❓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 decision in favor of the plaintiff in 260th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.5M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in West Orange.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., The Hartford) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a dog walker struck in neighborhood with quadriplegia, 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 West Orange?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation..” Can a West Orange personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like USAA. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a compensation awarded during mediation process and pursue full compensation.
