Do gaps in treatment devalue a claim?

Gaps in treatment can greatly devalue a case, as insurance companies can point to these gaps as proof that you’re not really as injured as you claim to be. That’s why it’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions and to keep a journal of your treatments and activities in relation to your case. Oftentimes, a gap in treatment can be something as simple as going out of town for a few days or skipping treatments as a result of illness. Keeping your attorney informed of everything in regard to your case and keeping a journal of treatments can help explain gaps later.
