Testimonials
"Med Legal's reports were useful from the onset in evaluating the case. We utilized the reports to prepare and posture for settlement. Their organization, structure and system were very efficient with cross-referenced medical records, billing complications and events. We took their bound records and reports to mediation which were intimidating to the other side and impressive to the mediator, and because we knew the medical issues intimately it aided in the Plaintiffs getting real."

"When we brought Med Legal in to help us build the Vioxx cases, we didn't realize just how valuable they would be. I've never seen anyone take such an organized approach to a complex multi-plaintiff case. First they established the medical criteria to separate the strong cases from the weak, then reviewed the records for us. Their reports and chronologies were extremely valuable, especially in relation to the cost of their services."

"Med Legal's reports helped show that the plaintiff had minimal exposure to Benzene and pinpointed the relationship between dates of exposure and disease onset, which put us in a position of strength to get to settlement. Ease of billing, willingness to split bills and invoice carrier directly made it very easy to turn fees into joint defense fee split without administrative headaches as leader."

"On the surface our case looked strong. However, Med Legal pointed out medical information in the records that would have weakened our case severely had it surfaced in trial. With that knowledge, we assessed the situation and settled quickly for a fair amount, saving us and our client time and money."

"It was a tough case.. We knew there was liability for our client's injury but proving it was something else. Med Legal was able to identify the relevant symptoms and then locate the specific medical research that tied those symptoms to the injury. They turned a difficult case into a solid one."

"Following surgery, a patient suffered hypoxia-induced brain injury, which left him a quadriplegic. Med Legal took boxes of medical records and organized, collated, analyzed, synthesized and simplified them. Their work product was easy to understand and to work with. They took a highly complex case with a lot of moving parts and made it very user-friendly."

"Med Legal's reports were definitely a component of each successful outcome. Our attorneys were better prepared for each phase of litigation. Minimal fees were associated to attorney time reviewing medical elements and no billing was incurred related to medical record summaries from paralegals and associates. These cost-saving components were magnified when Med Legal's cost was split amongst the various joint defense groups."
--Curt Mahler

"We filed MSJ detailing lack of liability as the defendant was not an entity during the relevant time period. However, expert witness designation deadline was prior to MSJ being heard, so we utilized Med Legal's reports to designate experts by understanding plaintiff's medical complaints and alleged exposure dates."
--Chris McDonald
Walsworth, Franklin, Bevin & McCall
"It looked like we had a strong malpractice case. a sponge left inside a patient during surgery. But during their review of the records, Med Legal discovered that the object was actually from a previous condition and was medically proper. I don't think most medical experts would have taken the time to catch that. Med Legal's thoroughness saved the day. and saved us from pursuing a bad case."
--Gary Paul
