Medical Record Review for Personal Injury Law Firms
Expert Medical Record Review for Personal Injury Cases
In any personal injury review, medical records are vital to establishing the cause and extent of one’s injury and its implications. They also provide the evidence necessary to prove how an accident caused the victim’s injuries which can lead to lost income, medical bills, and other damages. Using a medical record review service to go through these records and provide chronology or summary can help speed up the process for a personal injury attorney and their firm. Speeding up the process allows you to handle more cases while reducing your case management costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a medical record review?
Medical record review is the process of reviewing, identifying and summarizing the important medical facts from the original medical records such as physician notes, radiology reports, lab results, nurses’ notes, chiropractic notes, physical therapy notes, and so on. All details regarding the drugs/devices used, and injuries/adverse medical events as well as the healthcare provider, facility, date, and time are clearly captured in the summary we prepare.
Why is a medical record review significant?
Medical records can be voluminous and only trained medical review professionals can clearly interpret the complex medical facts and present them in a simpler form that everyone can understand. The review process is time- and labor-intensive and can prove costly when done in-house. Therefore, it is best done by a professional medical review service.
How is a medical record review useful in a personal injury case?
The medical case chronology and summary we prepare will identify the soundness of Proof of Usage to the Proof of Injury. It helps you determine whether it is worth taking up a case. Also, the reports we prepare are useful throughout the lifetime of a case.
