Medical Record Analysis
Review and Analysis of Medical Records
Gold MLC’s medical record reviews start with a summary of pertinent information from the records to lay a foundation. While reviewing the records, we look for strengths and weaknesses, missing records, potential defenses, pre-existing conditions, deviations in the standards of care and potential defendants while considering litigation strategy.
Illustrative Summary
Gold MLC will use photographs and x-rays to create an illustrative summary of the injuries. These summaries provide a visual account of the injuries and simplify the injuries in an easy to understand format. Illustrative summaries are particularly useful when a case involves numerous or complex injuries.
Initial Case Screening
Gold MLC will review the medical records to determine liability, damages and causation and give an opinion regarding merit.
Identify and Define Deviations from and Adherences to the Established Standards of Care
We will determine if a deviation in the standard of care occurred or if treatment was rendered within the applicable standard of care. Our reports include authoritative literature to support the deviation or adherence.
Assess Injuries, Identify Causation Issues and Contributing Factors
Our medical background qualifies us to identify pre-existing and co-existing conditions that may have an impact on the value of an injured client’s case. We will evaluate the injury and help to determine if the damages are related to the event and investigate causation issues.
For criminal cases we can determine the mechanism of injury as supported by the medical records.
Identify Strengths and Weaknesses
Your business and our reputation demand an honest assessment of the facts. It is our responsibility to discover the information that could potentially damage your cases as well as information that can bolster your cases. Our work assists you in evaluating strengths and weaknesses of the case and how opposing counsel will likely use the information. This helps you make informed legal decisions.
Point Out Potential Defendants
Our work helps to ensure that all potential defendants and responsible parties are accounted for, helping to reduce the risk of legal malpractice.
Identify Missing Records and Potential Tampering
Analyzing medical records includes the ability to identify information that may be omitted from the medical records; what part of the story is not being told because of gaps or omissions in the record or medical care.
Develop Customized Reports and Chronologies
The condensed reports that we prepare provide legal staff with manageable guides to numerous documents, thereby saving you time, expense and considerable stress in the course of litigation. We translate the medical jargon and present it back to you in a professional, concise, and thorough report that is easily understood.
