Case Study
An Interview With a Nurse and an Expertly Written Narrative
Bellwether
Most people have a medical history, and how that history impacts a current injury is often a contentious issue in accident cases. One particularly interesting case involved a worker with a history of neck pain from physically demanding labor since the age of 13. This individual was rear-ended while picking up supplies for his current job. His medical history was extensive, with previous physical therapy and consultations for chronic neck pain. After the car accident, a thorough investigation into his neck and treatment history was essential.
We took on the challenge and drafted a comprehensive medical history chronology, detailing every treatment and medication he had received over the years. We also included the current complications, diagnosis, and treatment he received after the accident. To ensure completeness, one of our nurse experts reached out to the client to fill in any gaps.
The final product was a compelling narrative that presented a complete story, which couldn’t be fully appreciated through separate and extensive medical records.
This comprehensive document was invaluable to the attorney, providing them with the support needed to increase the settlement value and avoid trial.
