This does not make sense. Did your attorney even argue against it strongly?

Are you getting copies of the communications and WC filings? I suggest you demand such copies. It will put both attorneys on the record.

You should be allowed to redact the medical records to remove any irrelevant information, especially if it involves your children. HIPAA should give you this right.

In fact, you should be able to redact any medical records that pertain to health issues that do not concern the brain and memory and cognitive functions.

Good luck with this.

My best to you.
