  4. You are continuing to make progress with physical therapy. We expect you to reach maximum medical improvement -- the point where treatment stops producing significant gains -- in another 4-6 weeks. Once that happens, we will prepare a demand letter to Allstate.

  6. You met with orthopedic specialist Dr. Patel, who has ordered an MRI to better evaluate your back and shoulder injuries. We expect results within 2-3 weeks.

  8. We have requested your full medical records from St. Vincent's Medical Center and your primary care doctor. These records are essential for documenting your injuries and typically take 4-6 weeks to receive.

  9. We have officially notified Allstate Insurance that we represent you. We have also preserved photos and records from the accident scene for your case file.

    Hi Eric, I had a rough day at PT yesterday -- should I be worried about the increased pain? Is this normal?

  4. You · Mar 11, 2026

    Thanks for the update on the MRI. So that means my back will heal, right?
