General Personal Injury FAQs — Alamo Heights

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Alamo Heights?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You waited too long to seek treatment.,” 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 Alamo Heights allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like loss of functional independence. Don’t accept “The medical records aren’t sufficient.” 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 settlement secured after expert testimony in 227th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.13M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Alamo Heights.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The medical records aren’t sufficient..” Can a Alamo Heights personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The medical records aren’t sufficient.,” 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 award confirmed during arbitration and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if MetLife Auto & Home says “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.” after my Alamo Heights crash?
  Insurers like MetLife Auto & Home often use lines such as “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like jaw fracture (mandibular) can be life-changing. In Alamo Heights, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement secured after expert testimony in 227th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.83M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., National General) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a commuter hit in crosswalk with foot or toe fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
