If you have been hurt in a car accident that was caused by the negligence of another driver, there are several forms you may receive from the responsible party’s insurance company. Even though the insurer will encourage you to sign these forms, you should refrain from doing so until you consult an experienced car accident attorney. Below are three of the most common insurance forms you will likely encounter following a car accident.

1. Medical Authorization Release

A medical authorization release form is compliant with HIPAA regulations and can give the insurance company access to your medical records. By signing this form, you allow the insurer to search for evidence of previous complaints that may explain the injuries that you believe were caused by the car accident.
