Accident Injury Legal Case Management



               It is the responsibility of the personal injury attorney to obtain the highest

               settlement possible for the client that he represents, who may have sustained

               injuries in an automobile, slip and fall, or work-related accident. Whether injuries
               are relatively minor or more severe, personal injury attorneys seek to obtain

               maximum case value for their clients. To accomplish this goal, personal injury
               attorneys must be able to very specifically demonstrate the extent that their

               clients have been injured by the negligence of the at fault party.


               Physicians’ medical records are used by attorneys to prove their cases and to help

               obtain maximum value for their clients. Stanger Injury Centers believe that if

               accident patients in a thoughtful and conscientious manner, objectively and

               diligently documenting findings, then both medical and legal interests will

               mutually be served.


               Stanger Injury Treatment Centers believe that personal injury attorneys have a
               right to expect that their clients’ injuries be accurately assessed through detailed

               history, examination, imaging studies, x-rays, electrodiagnostics, etc., that

               appropriate medical specialists such as neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons
               be utilized, and that individually designed treatment plans be carried out.



               Stanger Injury Treatment Centers believe that personal injury attorneys have a
               right to expect this not because it helps them prove their case (which it does) but

               because treating patients in the manner outlined above is tantamount to

               providing good medical care. Similarly, Stanger Injury Treatment Centers believe
               that attorneys have every right to receive clear and concise medical records, not
