The general rule is that you should not give an insurance company a medical release regarding a car accident.
If it is your insurance company you have a duty to cooperate and therefore you must give your own insurance company a medical release.
If it is the opposing insurance company, I generally do not give them a release. I control the information, not them.
With and without an attorney on board, each insurance carrier involved in the car collision will be asking you for a release and summary of your injuries. You need to be very careful when filling these out because anything you write down could be used against you later.
