Medical records document the history of any injury, as well as a doctor’s diagnosis and treatment of a particular medical problem. Medical records are important to establish the nature and severity of any injury as well as the treatment offered by a medical provider. Medical records are used to document a claim when settlement discussions are under way. Medical records also may be used as evidence if a trial is necessary. In short, medical records are used to illustrate damages sustained by a plaintiff in a motor vehicle accident case.
