The Importance of Organizing Medical Paperwork Properly
The Importance of Organizing Medical Paperwork
Medical charting and paperwork. We all go to the doctors from time to time and every time we leave they hand us this stack of paperwork about what they did, how they did it, what we’re supposed to do to follow up, etc, etc, etc. And what do you do? If you’re like me, I go home, I take that document with all my medical information and I shred it.
I’m Mike Ashworth, a personal injury attorney in Oklahoma. But we’re going to talk about why it’s important not just to toss those documents away. What happens if I’m in a car accident? I’m driving down the Broken Air Expressway. I stop for slow traffic because of the construction that’s going on. Well, there’s some yay-hoo behind me that doesn’t want to stop or they can’t stop. And they plow into the back of me. Boom! Ouch!
So I go get checked out, which you should always do, by the way, folks. Don’t sit there and say, oh, it’s okay. It wasn’t that bad. He didn’t hit me that hard. My bumper’s not dragging on the pavement. Go get checked. But when you do that, don’t take those papers and just toss them aside. Build a file. Because I can tell you, in what we do as personal injury lawyers, the hardest thing for us to do and the thing that takes the absolute longest of anything in the case is gathering all the medical information and all the bills that you get handed to you every time you go to the doctor.
