Being injured in an accident is hard enough. Trying to recover physically while juggling insurance paperwork and medical documentation can overwhelm the process, especially when doctors or insurers won’t cooperate. Many injury victims assume everything will go smoothly, only to find that they’re left waiting on critical records or fighting for fair compensation.
At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C., we understand how frustrating this process can be. If you’re struggling to get the documentation or support you need from your physician or the insurance company, we’re here to help.
To build a strong personal injury case, you need detailed medical records, diagnosis documentation, treatment plans, and sometimes even expert testimony from a physician. Unfortunately, not every doctor’s office is responsive—or willing to help. You might wait weeks for paperwork or face a flat-out refusal to testify in court.
Insurance companies take advantage of these delays. If you don’t have the necessary medical proof, they may:
That’s why having a legal advocate in your corner is critical.
If you’re dealing with pushback from either your physician or the insurance company, here’s how a personal injury lawyer can step in and support your case:

We handle the details so you can focus on getting better.
Insurers often drag out the process or pressure you to accept less than you deserve. When you hire a lawyer, you send a clear message: you’re serious about your recovery, and you won’t settle for less. If the insurer continues to be unreasonable, your attorney can file a personal injury lawsuit and pursue compensation in court.
Not every physician is willing to testify—but there are experts out there who are. If your current doctor won’t cooperate, your lawyer can help you:
Some insurance plans even have directories of doctors who regularly work with attorneys.
Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation. Your lawyer can contact your doctor’s office, explain the importance of their involvement, and negotiate fair compensation for their time during depositions or trial. Many physicians are more willing to cooperate once they understand what’s at stake.
If a physician flatly refuses to testify despite their involvement in your treatment, your attorney can subpoena their appearance. This legal order requires them to appear in court and may be the only option if their testimony is crucial to your case.
