What medical records do I need for a personal injury case?
You need ER reports, treatment notes, imaging (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans), specialist consultations, physical therapy records, prescription history, and billing records from all treating providers. Complete documentation proves the injury, treatment timeline, prognosis, and costs.
Cases with complete medical documentation settle for significantly more on average. Strong medical evidence is key to successful settlements. Pre-existing conditions should also be documented to establish your baseline health before the injury.
