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
- Gather all available records from the prerequisite categories.
- Establish the pre-incident baseline with specifics (duties, hobbies, hours, capacity).
- Map the incident mechanism to specific diagnoses.
- Organize the treatment course thematically by intervention type and escalation.
- Translate clinical findings into real-world functional impact.
- Build the causation chain: incident → injury → treatment → impairment.
- Synthesize damages foundation with cited evidence.
Output Structure
Target length: 8–20 pages depending on treatment complexity.
