Keep in Mind
One thing to keep in mind is:
that everything you say to your doctor is gonna written down and everything that’s written down insurance companies, you know will most likely see as well.

So how you come across in those records is going to reflect on the value of your case.
So there are, you know I’m going to shoot a video for each one of the mistakes that people make.
There’s about nine or ten of them, but there are three overriding things that need to be said. Before we go into those.
And three things that you have to keep in mind when dealing with your treating physicians are:
Number One
Be honest with them.
Don’t lie to them.
Don’t try to make your, you know, issues bigger than they really are because it does come across in your medical records and the doctor will even note that, that you’re faking it.
Watch out for that.
Number Two
Keep your appointments. If I could get a dollar for every time the insurance company has told me:
„Hey Nedim how bad could your client have been injured?
Because they were missing two, three, four appointments out of six for physical therapy, therefore, I’m thinking they couldn’t have been injured“.
So the most important thing is to keep your appointments with those doctors.
Number Three
Don’t let, litigation, don’t the claims process drive your medical care.
If you have reached maximum medical improvement, if you’re feeling better,
if you don’t have any lingering issues, don’t make another appointment with the doctor,
just to be talking to him so you can pad the file.
It’s going to come across to a jury if we have to try that case they can see trough that stuff.
Those are the three most important things to keep in mind and this is I said 9 or ten videos will follow after this and we’ll take about each individual mistake that people make.
