National Record Retrieval’s (NRR) record review services are essential to identify a party’s pre-existing conditions. As your firm is well aware, you must be able to link damages from the new accident and establish causation to secure a settlement on your client’s behalf.
Do not allow insurance adjusters to sideline your case by using prior medical histories to claim their injuries were caused by a previous accident. Read on as we highlight the importance of identifying pre-existing conditions through professional record review.
NRR’s comprehensive review process of pre-existing conditions identifies the claimant’s exact health status immediately before the accident to establish a baseline. We use medical records, such as treating physician notes and imaging, to prove that while a condition existed previously, the accident caused a new injury or measurable worsening.
Our thorough process accurately compares symptoms and treatment intensity before and after the incident to show increased severity or new, necessary treatments. With these records, medical experts are better able to provide testimony that explains the connection between the accident and the aggravation of previous conditions. By isolating the impact of the accident, proper review prevents insurers from dismissing claims, increasing the potential compensation for worsening pain and suffering.
By utilizing NRR to secure medical records promptly, legal professionals can assess the true impact of a claimed injury versus a pre-existing health condition, particularly in complex personal injury and mass-tort cases. We work hard to help strengthen your legal strategy and negotiation position by bypassing traditional administrative hurdles to obtain complete, chronological medical histories.
These records typically contain crucial, in-depth documentation that clearly reveals past illnesses or prior injuries. Because our system integrates with popular case management platforms, like SmartAdvocate, Litify, and Filevine, we also ensure that all gathered evidence is immediately accessible, organized, and searchable by authorized legal staff.
NRR’s review services help avoid pitfalls from pre-existing conditions by creating a chronological timeline of your personal injury client’s medical history. This comprehensive report clearly distinguishes prior injuries from new claims, while identifying any missing documentation. Our team then organizes these records to ensure accuracy and prevent overvaluation of damages in your firm’s legal cases.
