General Personal Injury FAQs — Linn

• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation..” Can a Linn 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 Chubb. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached before trial in 92nd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 warehouse worker injured by delivery truck with hip replacement due to trauma, 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 Linn?
  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.
• ❓What should I do if Bristol West says “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.” after my Linn crash?
  Insurers like Bristol West often use lines such as “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like renal contusion or laceration can be life-changing. In Linn, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement approved in 92nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.77M.
• ❓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 approved in 92nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.42M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Linn.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Linn allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like pelvic ring disruption. Don’t accept “We’re still investigating liability.” at face value.
