As a general rule you should be following the advice of your treating doctors as to what testing and treatment to get. However, it is sometimes true that your treaters are not equipped to deal with a TBI and your attorney could actually mean that you need alternate treaters that are more aggressive in diagnosing and treating your condition? Or if you are not following treatment and testing recommendations of your treaters, it could be that your attorney is suggesting you get the treatment and testing being recommended? The usual way you get treatment for a TBI is to have neurological and neuropsychological testing. After the testing is done, it is usually the neurologist and/or neuropsychologist who then suggest proper treatment. You would want to follow their recommendations, which could include occupational therapy, physical therapy, cognitive therapy, etc. In Michigan you auto insurer will pay for all necessary medical care, treatment, testing, therapy, etc.
