- Imaging, laboratory and pathology reports plus the underlying studies when available
- Operative, anesthesia, medication-administration and nursing records when relevant
- Later records that identify the injury, changed diagnosis or additional treatment

Start with the complete records from the episode of care, including orders, nursing notes, medication records, imaging, laboratory results and later treatment that helps show what changed.
Does living in Mount Pleasant mean a lawsuit must be filed in Isabella County?
Not necessarily. Venue depends on Michigan law, the defendants and where relevant events occurred. A lawyer should evaluate venue from the specific facts rather than the patient’s home address alone.
