This is the most important video you will ever watch to help you protect your injury case and your health. A gap in your medical treatment can really hurt your personal injury case. Serious gaps in treatment in many situations can kill your case. Some of these serious gaps are caused by your doctors not knowing how to manage your care as it relates to your case. The biggest mistake is when a client thinks they have been "Finalized" or have reached "Maximum Medical Improvement." When this happens, they think they are done with their treatment. And therefore they think they don't have to do anything else, and the lawyer will settle their case. This is an Expensive mistake to your health and your settlement. You need to know that there are Two types of medical care. The first is "Rehabilitative care" and the Second is "Palliative care". Rehabilitative care is when the doctors are trying to stabilize your injuries and keep you from getting worse. Once you are stabilized, then they to try and heal your injuries. For example, a broken leg may require surgery, followed by casting of the broken bone so it will maintain alignment while the fracture heals. Then, after your cast is removed, your doctors will prescribe physical therapy to improve your strength and flexibility, and to train your muscles and ligaments to function better. In other types of injuries without a broken bone, the treatment is usually designed to reduce the pain and inflammation around the damaged part of your body. This is to help your muscles and ligaments return to normal, to take the pressure off nerves that cause pain, and to break the pain cycles caused by the injury. Then once the healing begins, the doctors will change your treatment plan to help heal the body with strengthening and flexibility types of treatment. The American Medical Association says that this first phase of treatment in most cases should take about six months. After six months of rehabilitative care, you should reach a "Medical Plateau." In other words, you have reached "Maximum Medical Improvement" commonly called "MMI." Unfortunately, some doctors and many patients think that this is the end of their treatment, which is 100% Wrong. MMI just marks the shift in treatment from Rehabilitative care to the Second type of care which is called "Palliative or Maintenance Care."
