It is not mandatory and I advise clients not to sign it. The insurance company will have access to ALL of your medical information if you allow them to have a signed authorization. Even if you are handling your own claim, you would be well served to consult an attorney for advice. Most of us who handle personal injury cases hate to see insurance companies take advantage of victims and will provide free consultations.
