Are Medical Records Enough?
Medical records are a critical part of any claim for disability benefits. The problem that most people run into is that a medical record itself is sometimes not enough. Often, in fact, it is how the medical evidence is articulated or how your condition has been documented and described that are what really make a difference.
At the Law Offices of Steven Gaechter, we have extensive experience with compiling evidence and gathering medical records for cases involving a variety of medical conditions and impairments, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, psychiatric disabilities, back and spinal cord conditions and traumatic brain injuries as well.

How We Can Help
With thousands of disability claims, more than 25 years in the New Jersey courts and extensive experience with a wide range of medical conditions and impairments to draw from — attorney Steven Gaechter is able to help our clients in several important ways.
The initial goal is to compile solid, objective evidence that details specific functional restrictions and how your ability to work has been affected. If we are able to do this, a fair insurance settlement may be achieved without too much delay.
This process begins with a careful review of the insurance plan and of the definitions of disability included within it — an essential first step. We will also work extensively with your treating physician throughout so that transcriptions of the doctor's opinion and your medical records describe your condition accurately, and in a way consistent with the requirements of your plan.
In addition, we will also seek to obtain any reports, in-house medical evaluations or other documents from the insurer so that we can effectively rebut claims administrators' adverse decisions.
