I sent the expert three large volumes of carefully organized medical records and a medical chronology by overnight mail. I received a telephone call from this expert two days later. To my astonishment, he had completed his work and was ready to discuss his opinion. With a note of wonder in my voice, I asked the expert how he had completed his review in such a short amount of time. You wouldn't believe what some folks send me or how long it can take me to make some sense out of the chaos.
Some cases require determination and a dedication to detail.
One of my current cases arrived in a large box of assorted medical records from several nursing homes and hospitals. The records had been produced by the opposing counsel and appeared to have been sorted by the wind. With years of reviewing medical records plus an understanding of the types of records to anticipate, I was able to organize the box of records into volumes representing four distinct facility admissions. The volumes are being paginated, tabbed and bound. I received a call from a frustrated client last spring.
