West Palm Beach Car Accident Impeachment by Omission

In the courtroom, it's not always about what someone did but sometimes it comes down to what someone did not do. When you are trying to impeach a witness in a West Palm Beach car accident trial, you sometimes have to back them into admitting that they failed to do something which may have caused harm to the Plaintiff. For instance, if you see a nurse at a hospital and give her your medical history including your current medications and she fails to list the medications on your records or ask you and document when you last took your medication and the lack of documentinf the answers to these questions cause the doctor to make decision regarding your treatment that he/she might not otherwise have made, then the nurse failed to properly document your medical history by omitting pertinent information that she may remember and testify to at trial but that cannot be found in any medical records.

Getting Your West Palm Beach Car Accident Attorney Your Prior Medical Records and Disclosing Prior Injuries

It is important to provide your Palm Beach County accident attorney with prior medical records( prior to current accident) and to put them on notice as to any pre-existing injuries you may have to determine if you have any similar conditions that match your current complaints.  BREATHE.  Prior similar injuries DO NOT automatically hinder your case.  Prior injuries may be minimized before a jury by arguing that any pre-existing condition was aggravated by the current accident.  You should also be aware that your medical records are protected under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996).  You are afforded privacy rights and any request for records should be accompanied by authorization that complies with the privacy rules of HIPAA.
