How do I get my Hospital Notes in a Personal Injury Claim

Welcome to 2018! In Western Australia it is common for insurers to dispute a personal injury claim on the basis that when an accident happened there is no evidence that there was an injury to a specific body part. An example of this would be where a person is injured in a motor vehicle accident and they complain to the doctor about an injury to the lower back but not their neck.

This will require public hospitals to release a copy of the injured persons medical notes. An application for freedom information must be made in writing to the hospital that provided the medical treatment, or in some situations where the hospital is a regional hospital to a central information provision authority.
