Hi
In September, someone drove into the side of my car. The car was written off and, four months later, I am still injured.
The other driver admitted fault and I submitted a claim for my injuries. I have already been subjected to a full medical examination, but the other driver's solicitors are now requesting full access to my medical records for the past ten years, to prove that my injuries weren't preexisting.
My GP has signed a declaration to say that these injuries were caused by the accident. This has been rejected.
I feel totally let down and disheartened. I am the victim here; I've had my car written off and injured through no fault of my own. Medical records are intensely personal and sensitive, I am affronted that a declaration from my GP isn't sufficient.
Does anyone here have any thoughts about this? Am I unable to challenge this?
Happy to answer any questions.
