What should I tell my doctors?

At some point in time, you will be visiting doctors in reference to the injuries you sustained in this case.  Patient history is of the utmost importance.  You should give each of your treating physicians a written and exact description of how the accident in question occurred and whether or not you had any prior similar or dissimilar injuries or accidents as well.   Please take your time and be accurate and advise him of any and all accidents and injuries for which you sought care.  Do not try to hide anything. Your honesty and integrity are the most important part of your case.  Moreover, the insurance companies will know of just about all instances in which you sought medical care.  Do not try to hide anything.  Even if you are not a liar, a good defense attorney or insurance adjustor can make it look that way if you are careless about your injury or medical history.  So take your time, think about the questions you answer and be careful.

Not only will it be important that you keep all medically related appointments with your doctors, you should also keep your doctor fully informed with regard to all progress and problems associated with our medical recovery.  Some orthopedic and neurological problems come and go.  Please communicate with your doctor and let your physician know about your "bad" days even though you may be experiencing a "good one" in his office.  It is also helpful if after each visit with the doctor you keep a diary or write notes to yourself with regard to what the doctor has said concerning your progress or prognosis.  Please note in your diary only pains or symptoms you may experience so that you may relate them to your physician and to me on a later date.  Once again, copies of all medical bills and reports should be forwarded to our office so that they may be submitted to your insurance carrier or made a part of your file.  If you take any over-the-counter medication for your accident related injuries, please keep copies of the receipts for these medications and all empty bottles until the case is concluded.

During the course of your treatment until the resolution of the case, we suggest that you not go on any rides at any attractions.  These rides have warnings about persons with injuries to the back and neck not riding on them and as is often the case, people try them and get re-injured.  That will also deduct from the value of your case.  Only healthy people should go on these rides anyway.  Additionally, should you brave the ride and it comes up during litigation that you had gone on the ride, the insurance company will try to make it look like there is nothing wrong with you to the extent that you are able to go on amusement park rides and not suffer any consequences, hospitalizations or additional medical treatment subsequent to those attraction rides.  As a consequence we advise against going on to any of the rides at any of the attractions locally or otherwise.
