Collison Law Offices Scores Huge Win for Privacy Rights

CHICAGO - April 7, 2020 - PRLog -- For too long the massive insurance companies have run rampant throughout Cook County, collecting data from personal injury victims to be used for business purposes. A recent Appellate Court victory for Collison Law Offices will change all that. Until recently, Cook County implemented a standard protective order, governing the release and subsequent retention of medical records used in litigation. This protective order allowed for insurance companies to keep and maintain your most sensitive, private health information after litigation, and use and distribute that information for business purposes. While it may seem obvious that any medical records used during litigation would be destroyed when the case is over - for thousands across Illinois that was not the case. Collison Law Offices fought vigorously to end this unconstitutional practice and ensure that all people who wish to act on their constitutional right to remedy do not waive their constitutional right to privacy. The Appellate Court found that the protective order did not adequately protect the privacy rights of individuals. There is no legitimate reason for an insurance company to keep protected health information after litigation. Now, victims of serious injuries can feel secure, knowing that Collison Law Offices will fight for their privacy rights and allow them to seek their just compensation without fear. Collison Law Offices has affected the law on a state wide level. This type of vigor is the same vigor that Collison Law Offices fights with on behalf of all their clients. https://collisonltd.com/
