Tampa, FL personal injury attorney Mark Lee discusses what kind of medical evidence you need to provide to support your disability claim. He explains that, ideally, treatment should be managed by specialists, though this is not always feasible. In Social Security cases, evidence typically relies on three key components: the claimant’s description of their condition, objective testing such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, and the physician’s professional assessment, which is primarily based on the physical examination. Notes from specialists generally include more detailed observations and comprehensive physical findings than those from primary care physicians. Consequently, the greater the amount and quality of evidence, the stronger the case.
