Face it, most MIST patients end up at a chiropractor. And when they do, the chiropractor has all kinds of standard forms to fill out, just like when the patient goes to an MD. The one big difference: the chiropractor always asks who the attorney is on the file. And they usually get this information right next to some very good information about the accident.
The downside: the form then becomes useless. If you send in a form that lists you as the attorney, the adjuster will immediately conclude, rightly or wrongly, that either you referred the client to the chiropractor or the chiropractor referred the client to you. Under either situation, the case now has less settlement value.
The solution: ask the chiropractors to put the attorneys information in a separate spot or on a separate form. This will allow you to send in the intake form without worrying about the adjusters faulty conclusions.
