Gaps in Medical Records Can Hurt Your Claim

Michael P. Maddux, P.A. Team
Infographic of organized medical records and patient file marked “complete,” highlighting the importance of consistent treatment, follow-up visits, and accurate documentation for personal injury claims and insurance cases.

Gaps in medical records can quietly weaken a personal injury claim. Every visit to your medical provider adds another chapter to the story of your injury.

Why This Matters

When treatment is inconsistent, that story develops gaps, and insurance companies are quick to use those gaps to challenge your claim. To make sure your records accurately reflect what you’re going through, attend every recommended follow-up and be honest about your symptoms at each visit.

Civil rights review fee: $1,000. Send agency, date & case outcome in your own words.

We concentrate on civil rights litigation, and careful screening is one of the most important phases of a case. To properly assess your claim, including police reports, videos, and witness interviews, we charge a $1,000 civil rights review fee, which is required before we can engage. After the review, we’ll set a strategy under a contingency or hourly agreement. Please include the police agency involved, the incident date, and the outcome of any criminal prosecution. We prefer summaries in your own words rather than AI-generated ones. Thank you for understanding.
