Medical Records Review

Medical Records Review

The process of accurately and effectively reviewing a client’s medical records is tedious and time-consuming, yet vital to any case hinging on the deteriorated health of the claimant. Even where the medical harm endured by numerous plaintiffs originated from a shared defendant, as is the case in mass torts claims, the individual plaintiffs may each have experienced physical harm in unique ways. At Universal Mass Torts, we review every record with the understanding that each medical history is significant.

The legal experts at Universal Mass Torts have significant experience requesting, reviewing, and analyzing medical records to distill the most relevant information. In addition to navigating the challenges of obtaining medical records, our team is skilled in spotting and tracking down missing or incomplete records.

Once the records are received, we get to work sorting, analyzing, and organizing the information. Clients’ medical histories often arrive in a mishmash of data, charts, notes, and annotations penned by physicians with hard-to-read handwriting. Deciphering all this can bog down a law firm’s in-house staff. Universal Mass Torts’s team is practiced in communicating with medical providers to get to the bottom of unclear medical records. Once the Universal Mass Torts team begins the records review process, we will skillfully organize the data to make it straightforward and easy to digest, with flags noting salient data.

Ultimately, each case is unique to the firm and the client, so medical record reviews need to be customizable. Some firms like to see chronologies prepared from the amassed medical histories, while others prefer summaries highlighting specific time periods from a client’s history. Universal Mass Torts works with you to provide the work product that will be most beneficial for each case.

While we understand it isn’t always a lawyer’s first instinct to outsource the medical records review process, Universal Mass Torts boasts skilled experts who can efficiently and delicately sift through medical records with a fine-toothed comb so that you and your law office team can focus on the legal substance of your client’s case.
