Is there anything I can do to help my case?

A: Yes. You need to understand that your relationship with your attorney is a partnership. The attorney will need to be able to contact you and receive prompt responses with any needed information. In addition, the value of the case is greatly impacted by your honesty and forthrightness. Insurance companies love to argue that you are exaggerating your injuries or that the injury already existed.

The only way to combat this is to provide all your prior health history and information, good and bad, to your treating doctors and your attorney. You can wreck your case by trying to hide information. In short, be honest with your attorney and doctors, and follow their advice. For more advice on this, read my book: Don’t Wreck Your Injury Case!
