General Personal Injury FAQs — Dean

• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t report the injury immediately..” Can a Dean 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 GEICO. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a damages awarded in settlement conference and pursue full compensation.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Dean allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like hip replacement due to trauma. Don’t accept “We’re still investigating liability.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Branch Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a disabled pedestrian with loss of bladder control after spine trauma, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Patriot Insurance says “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” after my Dean crash?
  Insurers like Patriot Insurance often use lines such as “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like dental fractures can be life-changing. In Dean, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 869K.
• ❓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 case resolved through court-supervised mediation. Our case histories include results such as 1.45M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Dean.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Dean?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
