PRACTICE POINTS



Whereas anxiety to understand cause can increase reporting accuracy, conflicted emotion materially distorts medical recall

Pre-injury as well as contemporaneous clinical records should be routinely examined before symptoms are attributed to injury

Whenever there is any doubt, litigators should challenge treating and independent physicians to explain what leads them to attribute cause, other than the client's recall
