What can I do to help with the progress of my case?


Answer: The first thing, is to keep the office informed of any change in telephone or address. The second is to keep the office informed of the name and address of any new medical providers. Also when you are finished treating with a specific medical provider, please inform us at that time, so we will then request the complete medical records.

If there are any medical reports generated by the doctor, such as a recent X-Ray Reports, MRI Report or narrative report by the doctor, please request a copy as the patient and either fax/or mail a copy of the report(s) to our firm. We generally wait until you are finished with a given provider before requesting the complete medical records, otherwise a premature request may result in an incomplete file. On the other hand, any updated reports as they are generated are helpful in supplementing the claims in the case.

Please make you self available for any court ordered depositions and medical examinations. Missing these appointments can result in cancellation costs imposed by the other side, and delay the progress of your case.

Keep a note book with the names and addresses of your medical providers and the corresponding dates of treatment, and a short note as to what was done on the specific date. This can be very helpful to us to compare what our records reflect and what the medical reports in our file indicate, and therefore if we are missing any information, we will be in a position to accurately identify it and request these specific documents from the doctor.
