General Personal Injury FAQs — Zapata

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Zapata?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.,” 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 jury verdict in 49th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 691K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Zapata.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame..” Can a Zapata personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.,” 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 structured settlement agreement reached and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if American Strategic Insurance says “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.” after my Zapata crash?
  Insurers like American Strategic Insurance often use lines such as “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like plantar fascia rupture can be life-changing. In Zapata, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury verdict in 49th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.12M.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Zapata allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like knee dislocation. Don’t accept “Your injuries were pre-existing.” at face value.
• ❓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 elderly driver with herniated disc, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
