Medical Treatment Summary

Transforms medical records into persuasive, clinically accurate narratives that establish a damages foundation for personal injury litigation.

Prerequisites

• Medical records — ER reports, physician notes, imaging, operative reports, therapy/pharmacy records
• Pre-incident history — prior treatment records, PCP notes establishing baseline
• Incident documentation — accident/police reports, engineering analyses
• Employment/vocational records — personnel files, vocational assessments
• Mental health records — psychiatric evaluations, therapy notes (if applicable)
• Expert reports — IMEs, FCEs, life care plans (if available)

Quick Start

1. Gather all available records from the prerequisite categories.
2. Establish the pre-incident baseline with specifics (duties, hobbies, hours, capacity).
3. Map the incident mechanism to specific diagnoses.
4. Organize the treatment course thematically by intervention type and escalation.
5. Translate clinical findings into real-world functional impact.
6. Build the causation chain: incident → injury → treatment → impairment.
7. Synthesize damages foundation with cited evidence.

Output Structure

Target length: 8–20 pages depending on treatment complexity.
