Clients only get one shot at a fair settlement
Medical documentation is still one of the most unpredictable variables in a personal injury case. While some providers are thorough, many reports lack the clarity and depth needed to support a strong settlement. Yet, as you know, up to 95% of your case value can hinge on the quality of these notes.
Missing value drivers, vague diagnoses, and the absence of permanent impairment ratings can quietly sabotage your negotiations—and ultimately undermine your client’s recovery.
That’s why many firms bring in Chiropractic Physicians trained in Personal Injury Documentation as consultants—particularly in soft tissue spinal injury cases, including low-impact collisions. This second layer of oversight helps ensure that nothing critical is missing from the medicals, providing you with stronger leverage, better documentation, and a more defensible demand.
We have found that doctors untrainied in soft tissue spinal injury medical documentation miss over 57% of the vital components that create losses in fair injury awards for the clients.
Why Poor Medical Documentation Is Costing Your Clients Fair Injury Awards
Our reviews consistently show that medical providers without specialized training in soft tissue spinal injury documentation miss over 57% of the critical elements needed to support full and fair settlements. These gaps can significantly reduce the value of your case and ultimately impact your client’s recovery.
Why Are These Key Elements Being Missed?
1. Lack of Med-Legal Training in Personal Injury
Many competent and well-meaning physicians accept personal injury cases but have little to no training in the medico-legal demands of documentation. Without understanding how insurance software and juries evaluate medical records, even excellent clinicians can unknowingly undermine the value of a case.
2. Misdiagnosis or Under-Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Spinal Injuries
Soft tissue injuries—especially from low-impact collisions—are notoriously difficult to quantify. Providers untrained in sensitivity testing and injury pattern recognition often resort to vague diagnoses, which don’t reflect the true extent of impairment. This results in low-ball settlement offers and undervalued claims.
3. Inability to Communicate the Injury to a Jury
Effective testimony is a skill, not just a function of clinical knowledge. Many treating doctors are not trained or comfortable with depositions or courtroom testimony. We invest in ongoing training with trial attorneys to ensure that our physicians can clearly and credibly explain injuries and their impact to juries, adjusters, and opposing counsel.
True Diagnosis Drives Case Value
Everything starts with an accurate diagnosis. When the right testing, diagnostics, and inter-provider referrals are in place, your legal team is empowered to present clear, objective, and quantifiable evidence—essential to achieving fair and just injury awards.
Forensic Exam Chiropracic Physician
For soft tissue spinal injury from low impact auto accidents a trained Chiropractic Physician can perform a Forensic Exam. This is a win for many reasons.
- Second opinion on the case. Often times many providers see the same patient and some small yet vital value driver is missing.
- Impairment rating. Many doctors do not give impairment ratings at MMI or just send the clients out as “completed care”. We need to know what was injured, is it permanent and how it is effecting the clients ADL. It has to be strong and clear
- Clients still suffering despite dismissed from active care. Your clients are still have symptoms and they haven’ t been properly vetted, diagnosed or given any impairment. A second set of eyes can help seal up the lose ends and tighten up your case.
