You can go anywhere you want after an auto accident, but not everyone knows how to win a case. Winning a case means that the patient(s) get the care they need, the auto repairs get fixed, and the person involved in the accident gets their bills paid. There are several factors that are important to your attorney that makes coming to this office attractive.
The attorneys are playing the end game. That is, what if this case goes to court? The attorney wants a competent physician that can perform in deposition, and in court. Having a curriculum vitae that qualifies you as an expert in your field is important. You can see my CV here: http://www.uschirodirectory.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=398&view=article&cur_id=8702# Having a doctor that can opine on neuromusculoskeletal injuries is an important part of utilizing physicians with a robust curriculum vitae that backs up their actions.
Lawyers want a doctor that can correlate causality to bodily injury , and bodily injury to functional loss. There is a natural progression within the documentation process that takes the patient from the initial injury (causation), to bodily injury (physical exam) to functional loss (objective testing) that helps solidify a case so that the patient gets the care they need and get their costs covered in the settlement.
Attorneys want a doctor that works with a team so that the correct examinations and testing get performed to prove the case. On my CV there is a citation of primary spine care. What this means to the attorney is that we "quarterback" or triage the patient and know when, where and why a patient needs a certain procedure or referral. Collaboration with other specialties is important to get the patient the correct care, at the right time, to get the patient well and to solidify the case.
Believe it or not many physicians do not specialize in this area and are unprepared for how to treat patients in an accident. At our clinic, you don't have to worry.
