If you have employees dedicated to retrieving records from physicians’ practices for your personal injury cases, you are not alone in recognizing the growing problem of turnaround times. Delays in retrieving information have extended from a week or two to possibly 90 days, seriously impacting your ability to serve your clients in a timely manner. Slow retrieval causes you to miss filing deadlines, delays strategizing, and jeopardizes case outcomes when crucial information is not forthcoming.
As you build a case, consider the ramifications of delays in receiving the records you need. If you are trying to determine the extent of a client’s injuries to negotiate a settlement with insurers or seek damages from a jury, failing to obtain the necessary medical records could significantly weaken your case and delay settlement discussions. Without this pertinent evidence, you may struggle to prove the extent of damages, resulting in a lower compensation award that may not cover the client’s losses.
Furthermore, missing filing deadlines due to a lack of essential information could result in losing a case. Having the necessary evidence to file motions effectively and keep the case moving forward is crucial, as failure to do so risks dismissal.
You may also miss the opportunity to develop a comprehensive strategy if you do not have all the necessary facts at your disposal. Cases may be weak or flawed if you do not retrieve records early enough to assess and build your case within the time constraints mandated by the judge.
