Summary
When your Clinical Documentation Ends up In Court: What Healthcare Providers Need to Know with Dr. Pankti Fadia In this episode of the FAKTR Podcast, we kick off a two-part conversation with Dr. Pankti Fadia, DC, MBA, a practicing chiropractor with extensive personal injury experience and a soon-to-be law school graduate. Dr. Fadia breaks down what chiropractors need to understand when clinical care intersects with the legal system — especially when patient records, treatment decisions, and documentation may become part of a personal injury case. In Part 1, we discuss the personal injury case timeline, the difference between clinical and legal causation, why documentation plays such a critical role in credibility, and the common charting mistakes that can weaken a provider’s position in litigation.You’ll learn why your notes are more than clinical records — they may become part of the legal story. Key Themes in Today’s Episode: How personal injury cases move from treatment to litigation Why documentation matters before a case ever reaches court The difference between clinical causation and legal causation How to document mechanism of injury, symptom onset, and functional limitations Why “reasonable medical probability” matters Common documentation mistakes healthcare providers should avoid Disclaimer: This episode is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as legal advice. 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Learn more from Dr. Fadia in an upcoming session at the ALIGNED 2026 Convention here .
