After your injury, you may be asked for extra information about your claim. For example, the insurance adjuster determining the worth of your settlement may ask for your medical records when calculating the right amount.
When they ask for this information, you may need to ask a few questions yourself. For example, what impact will medical records have on an injury lawsuit? You’ll need to know what information is necessary and what may not be reasonable. If you’re not sure where to begin, reach out to an attorney for help deciding what information should or shouldn’t be shared.
When you’re injured and seeking compensation, it may not be the first time you’ve been injured there and in that way. Instead of a fresh, new injury, you may have reinjured something that was originally injured some time ago.
In some cases, this can affect how much compensation you receive for your accident. If the insurance adjuster believes that your injuries wouldn’t have been as severe if you hadn’t been injured in a prior accident, they may change or reduce the compensation you deserve.
Knowing what to expect from your compensation is important. Reach out to your attorney about how a previous injury can affect the compensation you deserve today.
While your medical records can affect the compensation you receive, you don’t always have to share that information. In some cases, your New York attorney may believe that the request they’re making isn’t reasonable or fair. In these cases, you may be able to avoid giving them this information.
If you believe that their request isn’t fair, reach out to your lawyer about your records. They can help you determine whether you’re required to share those records or whether the insurance adjuster is asking for more than is necessary.
If you’re injured by another person’s negligence, you may need help getting the full settlement or compensation you deserve. For example, the insurance company may be asking for your medical records even if they’re not necessary. Unfortunately, that information could hurt your injury lawsuit—and so could withholding it.
That doesn’t mean you have to give them the medical records they’re requesting, however. Instead, reach out for the attorneys at Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP. We understand that you’re struggling to determine what you should and shouldn’t say, since any actions you take can potentially hurt your compensation.
