Why would my doctor screw up my chances for a settlement on my accident?
I was rearended by a teen talking on her cell phone. Suffer whiplash etc. Prior to the accident I did not have high blood pressure or tinnitus. A specialist at the Clinic ran tests. Test prooves hearing loss gap of high frequencies where people with this "dip" suffer tennitis. Finally a test prooves I was really hurt. But both technician and doctor immediately said they can not confirm it was caused by the accident? Doctor was a real jerk. talking about how many people suffer from tinnitus and there is no cure. Told me to put my radio on FM at night between channels. I am already going out of my skin from the nonstop buzzing in my ear. I will go nuts if I listen to off station noises. The doctor was so quick to dispute liability for the accident. I did not have buzzing in my ears before the accident. I would have gone to the docs. Then he said maybe I would have woken up in five years with tinnitus any way. I am in my late 50's. I was never exposed to loud noises prior to the accident to cause hearing loss. Why would the doctor screw up my chances for a settlement? Her insurance company has been paying the Clinic's bills for PT and doctor visits including ER visit.

may not want to go through the hassle of having to testify or fill out multiple forms since the amount of time it takes is never adequately compensated (hopefully not since the patient's interests come first) Also he/she may know that there is no way to "prove" the injury caused the problem. Doesn't mean it didn't cause the problem but simply can't be proven
