After a serious car accident, medical records often serve as the most powerful evidence in your personal injury case. They connect your injuries directly to the crash and help establish the compensation you deserve.
Why Medical Records Matter
Insurance companies frequently question the severity or cause of injuries. Thorough medical records create an undeniable link between the accident and your condition, documenting both the immediate and long-term effects.
What Records Should Include
- Emergency room evaluations.
- Diagnostic tests like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans.
- Physician notes and treatment plans.
- Records of follow-up care and rehabilitation.
- Expert medical opinions linking injuries to the accident.
Common Mistakes Victims Make
- Delaying medical treatment.
- Skipping appointments.
- Failing to disclose pre-existing conditions.
Each of these can weaken your claim and give insurers the opportunity to argue against full compensation.
