Why Registros Médicos Are the Foundation of PI Value
Insurance adjusters, defense abogados, and juries assess PI valor del caso primarily through registros médicos. A case is worth what the medical documentación supports — not what the paciente or even the treating médico says in a deposición. The written record controls the narrative.
What High-Value Records Contain
- Objective findings documented at every visit — rango de movimiento measurements, neurológico findings, functional assessments with actual numbers
- MRI with specific findings — not just "disc bulge" but "C5-6 paracentral hernia de disco with 6mm protrusion and right foraminal narrowing with raíz nerviosa contact"
- NCV/EMG correlation — electrophysiological confirmation of the nerve dysfunction shown on imágenes
- Consistent causalidad narrative — the same story of mechanism, onset, and progression documented across every visit
- Evaluación funcionalnal impact data — specific activities the paciente cannot perform, documented objectively
What Destroys Case Value
Gaps in tratamiento, inconsistent complaints, records that list diagnoses without objective support, and the absence of MRI or especialista evaluación for serious injuries all invite low offers and aggressive IME challenges.
