Regarding your auto accident in Santa Clara county, CA, if you want to be compensated for an injury you sustained in a car accident, you're going to have to allow the insurance company to review the medical records related to that injury.When you ask about them investigating your whole life, I'm getting that the HIPAA release looks very broadly worded.  And it may be too broad, but someone would have to take a look at the document itself, together with all of the facts of your case, to be certain.  So to pursue this, you're going to need a car accident lawyer in your area, and one place to look for an auto accident attorney in Santa Clara county, CA is our website, http://attorneypages.com.
