Imaging & MRI for personal injury

Imaging centers perform the MRIs, CT scans, X-rays and ultrasounds that turn a complaint into objective evidence. A herniated disc on an MRI, a fracture on an X-ray or a ligament tear on a scan is often the finding a case turns on.

Independent imaging centers usually schedule faster than hospitals, cost less, and know the paperwork an injury case involves: records and films delivered to the attorney, itemized bills, and often a lien or letter of protection instead of payment up front. The treating provider orders the study; the radiologist's report is what that provider, and later an adjuster or a jury, reads.
