- Get treatment from your regular doctor – Some lawyers will try to send you to a doctor that they know and can control, but unfortunately, insurance companies are very familiar with this strategy. If you get a new lawyer and a new doctor following your injury, it just lo1oks downright suspicious. That is why you should get treated by your regular doctor, and if you do need to see a specialist about your injuries, let your primary doctor give you a referral.
- Be honest with your doctor about your case – Although your doctor may seem like the ultimate confidant, you need to understand that their job involves writing down everything that you tell them. So don’t embellish about your case or try to fib about your medical history. Your doctor has access to the truth, and lying will only hurt your case. Remember to start at the beginning and walk your doctor through the whole event.
