If you have been injured in a Wallingford, CT car, truck, motorcycle or other accident case, one of the things that the at fault party’s insurance adjuster will scrutinize is your medical records. It is therefore very important that you give detailed information to your treating physician which adequately describes the problems that you are experiencing as a direct result of your accident. One of the best ways to make sure that you present this detailed information, in an orderly fashion, is to prepare notes that you can refer to when you are seeing your doctor.
If you are treating physician asks you how you are doing, you are not to give the standard answer that you might otherwise give to a friend, that you are fine or okay. The doctor is asking you this question so he or she can determine your medical situation and how to best treat the condition that you are experiencing as a result of your accident. In other words, what type of pain are you experiencing, how frequently do you experience this pain, how would you describe this paying, is it localized or doesn’t radiate to other body parts, do certain actions, acts or activities make your pain worse, does this pain interfere with your sleep, do your injuries restrict your ability to work, how does this affect you on a day-to-day basis, and generally speaking how has this accident and your resulting injuries interfered with your life?
We provide our CT accident and personal injury clients with our book and workbook. The workbook allows you to keep track of all of your accident related information. There is a section in the workbook that allows you to write down all of the problems, restrictions, pain and suffering complaints, and other issues which affect you as a result of this accident. You are then able to refer to this summary, when you visit your doctor, so that all of this information makes its way into your medical record. There is also a section where you can write down questions which you want to ask of your doctor. It is important that you provide your doctor with very detailed information about your situation. It is also important that you understand what is expected of you when you leave your doctor’s office. It is also equally important that you get all of your questions answered so you know exactly what you are supposed to be doing, and not supposed to be doing, until your next appointment with the doctor.
