When you’re recovering from an accident, paperwork is probably the last thing on your mind. You’re focused on physical therapy appointments, managing pain, and trying to get back to your normal routine.
But some documents act as the backbone of your entire case: your medical records.
At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we believe that understanding how your medical history helps your case shouldn’t be complicated. We can guide you through this process so you can focus on yourself and your recovery.
Your Records Tell the Story of Your Recovery
Insurance adjusters might try to suggest your injuries aren’t that serious or were caused by something else entirely. This is where your medical records become your strongest ally.
These documents provide an objective, professional timeline of your recovery.
They show:
- The immediate severity of your injuries after a car, truck, or motorcycle accident
- The specific treatments, medications, and surgeries required
- The long-term impact on your mobility and daily life
By carefully organizing and presenting these records, we make it much harder for insurance companies to offer those quick, low-ball settlements that don’t cover the true cost of your care.
Why You Should Call Us Before Signing Any Releases
After an accident, the insurance company might send you a Medical Authorization form. It looks standard, but it gives them permission to dig through your entire life’s medical history, not just the records related to the accident.
Please don’t sign anything before speaking with attorney Neil Lindquist for a free case review. We can explain which records the insurance company actually needs and which ones they don’t.
