What's more, it's important to take in the context of the data. It's not mental health, or HIV status, or sexual history, or really of any nature that can do damage other than the privacy aspect. It's people who hurt their neck after a car accident. Not the most sensitive stuff in the world.
Just to be explicit about it, I'm not suggesting the release of this data isn't a problem. Just that as medical data goes this is about an innocuous as it could have been. Even day-to-day visits to your primary care doc would probably have references to much more sensitive health data.

It's more sensitive than you'd think if any claims or settlements were involved. Or employers might want to snoop on their injured employees to find a reason to deny leave.
