Good records are part of good care
Your record covers the history of the crash, symptoms and pain levels, exam findings, diagnosis, physical limits, treatment recommendations and the medical opinion on how your injuries relate to the accident.
Clear records help your insurer understand the care you need. They describe your injuries accurately; they don’t promise an outcome, and the decisions on your claim are made by others.
