Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I cant post a legal case here but would like to add to what in paradise wrote. Winning a case such as this is not as hard as it sounds. Both sides will go through your medical record swith a fine tooth comb. I was told by a orthapedic surgeon that in legal battles concerning meurosurgery or neurology expert witnesses must testify according to published material and using your medical records. so if you are having no symptoms prior to an accident and your involved in one and then you start having symptoms they must testify truthfully. if they dont they take the chance of loosing there medical license. Both Dr. Ellenbogen and Dr. MIlhorat have studies out that say that about 25%of people become symtomatic after an accident. so trauma causing a person to become symtomatic is common. I know that acm/sm causes a person to become dissabled but these conditions effect each person differently with that said do not exagerate your condition and dont tie yourself to any answer. For instance if you dont drive or dont drive very far dont say you cant drive because of these conditions just say i dont drive and if i do i usually dont drive very far its just as easy and your not tiing yourself to a answer. An accident that causes a dissability can prompt the insuranse company to investigate. follow you around take pictures etc. somtimes itll happen somtimes it wont. and they can check your computer they probably wont but they can so be crefull what you write. I'm not trying to get anyonew nervous but after battling an insurance company for over 3 years and during a deposition their attorney knew what and where my wife was and how she was living and how she got around or get grocieries and such i dont want ppl to underestimate what insurance companies will do trying to relieve there responsibility. Fortunatly she did not exagerate her condition and everything she was claiming was true. Hope this gives someone some help Take care Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
