Mistakes Made by People in Accidents in Florida – Mistake Number 11 – Choosing a Doctor that Does Not Speak or Does Not Have Staff that Speak Your Primary Language.

Communication with your doctor following an accident is very, very important. For some of my clients whose first language is not English or whose primary language is not English, it is important, if there is such an option, to treat with a doctor that has the ability to speak your native language or at least to treat with a doctor that has an assistant who can translate for you. The reason is that if there are inaccuracies in the medical reports, regardless of the other issues in the case, such inaccuracies are harmful to the case. So, for example, if you complain of lower back injury and knee injury but the doctor does not understand and only documents the lower back injury and later on the doctor figures it out but now it looks like the knee injury is not related to the subject accident because there is no reference to it until a month later. Thus, if you had better communication with the doctor the knee injury is more easily connected to the accident.
