I Was Hurt Falling At the Supermarket: Should I Give Their Insurance Company Access To My Medical Records?
You’ve probably heard this many times from the ubiquitous lawyer ads on TV, but don’t sign any forms sent to you by the insurance company. I never let my clients sign medical record release forms because those forms almost always give the insurance company unlimited authorization.
The insurance company is entitled to some of the records, but I want to be the one who controls and monitors their access to the records. I want to know which records they have so I won’t be surprised. I want to know when they gain access to them. I want to be able to tell them that the law does not allow them access to certain records that are irrelevant to the case at hand.
So, once again, don’t sign any insurance company forms before you talk to a Florida injury lawyer. In addition, some cases might not even require a lawyer, but before you make a move, you should order one of my free books on Florida medical malpractice or accident cases.
