Medical Legal Case Review and Medical Malpractice Consulting Services
Initial Screening of Medical Records
Not all bad outcomes are due to negligence. Don't name everyone in the record. Let MedMal perform a medical legal case review to identify medical malpractice from mal-occurrence. MedMal will screen your medical malpractice case by identifying those providers who breached the Standard of Care and analyze this in context as it relates to causation. We can identify, organize and summarize the pertinent information. MedMal will assist in ensuring that all necessary documents have been discovered and produced, and assist you or your law firm in identifying appropriate items to request for production, including electronic data, hard drives, and records. MedMal can quickly assess a medical record for unusual entry patterns, inconsistencies, or absent corresponding entries that may suggest tampering.
Global Medical Legal Case Evaluation and Malpractice Screening
By performing a comprehensive review of the records, the relevant literature, and interpreting key events chronologically, MedMal will assist in "bottom line" analysis of the value of any given medical legal case. All factors are taken into account including the breach in the standard of care, causation issues, extent of damages, as well as plaintiff and venue demographics.
Standards of Care
MedMal has hands-on access to the most up-to-date authoritative resources contained in two medical school libraries as well as high-speed Internet access to conduct advanced literature research in all areas of medicine and nursing. We identify and define the standards of care and guidelines applicable to each medical legal case.
Identification of Expert Witnesses
Physician, nurse, midwife, and pharmacy experts are available to consult or testify through our national network. Experts arranged with the assistance of MedMal are typically University based, board certified, and DO NOT advertise their expert services and are NOT on any "expert" service list. Frequently, the physicians have previously only provided defense opinions. Need a Certifiate of Review or an Affidavit of Merit? Call MedMal to assist in the timely enlistment of an expert to fill your needs.
Attorney Education
Unlike other non-testifying consultants, MedMal is available to personally meet with attorneys to review the records, teach them the relevant literature and medicine, and assist (upon request) in preparing and anticipating the potential arguments and strategy that the opposition may present. MedMal can assist in providing effective demonstrative evidence that is persuasive and easily understood by the typical jury.
Discovery - Depositions
Put a doctor on YOUR side of the table. Not only can MedMal assist in the preparation of medical malpractice deposition outlines, we are available for attendance at, and consultation during, depositions to field the curve balls frequently thrown during medically related testimony. Focus on the law - doctors can speak the language of doctors.
Trial
MedMal is available for helping layout a trial strategy for preparation of your medical malpractice trial. Iin-court consultation is also available. Many attorneys find this service particularly useful and utilize MedMal for trial consultation assitance with Voir Dire and when cross examining the defense medical experts. |
