So
After an Accident- I No Longer Have Privacy Rights?
When you make a personal injury claim, many people are
frequently angry and upset by the invasions of privacy that insurance companies
commit while investigating your claim.
They do have the right to examine your medical records
and bills.
Surprisingly, if you have depression or anxiety you
may also have to turn over mental health records! If you’ve had prior injuries,
the insurance company may refuse to settle your claim without seeing your prior
medical records.
While this may seem upsetting, insurance companies are
entitled to inspect relevant records. They are not entitled to medical
information that cannot possibility relate to your claim. In the context of a
lawsuit, a set of rules called discovery rules become applicable, entitling the
insurance company to ask you to formally produce a few direct items.
At attorney can be useful in getting the best offer
your case, while limiting disclosure of your personal information.
