General Personal Injury FAQs — Itasca

• ❓What should I do if Allstate says “We need more documentation.” after my Itasca crash?
  Insurers like Allstate often use lines such as “We need more documentation.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like thoracic outlet syndrome from trauma can be life-changing. In Itasca, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a damages awarded in settlement conference — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.26M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Itasca?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The medical records aren’t sufficient.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor..” Can a Itasca personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like The Hartford. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 damages awarded in settlement conference. Our case histories include results such as 2.41M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Itasca.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Itasca allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like sacroiliac joint disruption. Don’t accept “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Alpha Property & Casualty) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a family member of a wrongful death victim with degenerative disc disease from trauma, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
