General Personal Injury FAQs — Southlake

• ❓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 structured settlement agreement reached. Our case histories include results such as 1.36M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Southlake.
• ❓What should I do if MetLife Auto & Home says “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” after my Southlake crash?
  Insurers like MetLife Auto & Home often use lines such as “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like knee dislocation can be life-changing. In Southlake, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a structured settlement agreement reached — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.18M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t provide a recorded statement..” Can a Southlake personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Shelter Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a binding arbitration resulted in favorable award and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 motorist hit during roadside breakdown with scapula fracture, 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 Southlake?
  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.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Southlake allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like traumatic ear drum rupture. Don’t accept “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.” at face value.
