In East Tennessee, it’s common for people to push through pain at first—then realize it’s worse after they’ve tried to work, drive, or care for family. That delay can be misused by insurance companies to argue your symptoms weren’t caused by the incident.
We focus early on building a timeline that makes sense to adjusters and, if necessary, to a Tennessee court—showing:
- when pain started (immediately vs. later)
- how it changed over the following days/weeks
- what treatment you sought and when
- how your work and daily activities were affected
For many Chattanooga cases, this “sequence of symptoms” matters as much as the MRI report.
