As a personal injury trial lawyer in Atlanta, I wind up answering a lot of questions. Here’s one that came to me recently:

Q.  Is the diagnosis from a chiropractor allowed in personal injury cases in Georgia?

A.  A chiropractor can testify to document complaints and symptoms and regarding treatment within the scope of chiropractic care. However, in my practice, I use chiropractic testimony to corroborate the facts about the client’s pain and efforts to recover function, but ALWAYS accompany that with testimony of medical doctors and other health care professionals.
