Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
Are there any cases whatsoever that have allowed a SSD Determination to be admissible in personal injury case as "evidence"..? What about when opposing counsel has ordered records through the Social Security Admin. about their findings by means of Subpoena through the Court on the P.I. case? As well as subpoenaing the SSD's "medical experts" involved in said determination.. Is there a way to get that information introduced? Anyway whatsoever? IF there have been any cases, what are they? Are there any new updates on this matter?

I don't know a case specifically, but if the injuries claimed can be related to or are similar the prior disability claims, then the disability information could be relevant and admissible as evidence.
The findings of the Social Security Administration or Administrative Law Judge may or may not be relevant. Discuss it with your attorney. It is a legal issue. The findings alone wont make your case unless the injuries are related to your accident as well. If other medical issues were considered than that may make it less relevant to your pending personal injury claim.
SSD ruling not relevant in personal injury case. Standards are different, just like a finding of a traffic judge's ruling is not relevant to liability.
Opinions of medical doctors in SSD case possibly admissible. Speak to your lawyer.
