You lose some Privacy when you make a claim for personal injury in a motor vehicle accident case.
Sep 11th, 2009
I have many Louisville personal injury clients who are surprised that the insurance
company can obtain all their medical records. The law provides that if you are
going to make a claim for personal injuries, that the insurance companies may
obtain all your medical records to see if there are other causes of your symptoms. If
you have sensitive information in your medical records that are clearly not
related to your Louisville auto accident injuries, you can seek protection from the Court to keep these
records private. Also, it is important to understand that not all records
discovered are admissible into evidence at the trial. The rules allowing
evidence are more restrictive than the rules allowing discovery of information.
If your Louisville injury claim involves the loss of income, then you will
have to release employment records and tax returns in order to prove your
damages.
The Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney will do everything that can be done to protect
your privacy, but it is important to understand that certain information will
have to be revealed in order that a jury can determine the truth regarding
your claims

"From the first meeting we had until the last ‘victory meeting’, we felt as though we were the only client Matt had. Never did we wonder what was taking place, or where our case stood. Matt very methodically unraveled untruths and half-truths to set the record straight. We feel he left ‘no stone unturned’ in our case. Matt argued our case before the State Supreme Court and won the case for us." — Bob & Joyce Bierman | Bowling Green, Kentucky
