The initial assessment of whether a legal case has sufficient medical and legal foundation to move forward. In medical-legal expert witness reviews, this involves a physician or qualified medical expert evaluating the medical records and facts of the case to determine:
• Clinical Validity – whether the alleged injury, diagnosis, or outcome is supported by medical evidence.
• Causation – whether there is a reasonable link between the medical condition and the alleged event (such as malpractice, accident, or workplace exposure).
• Standard of Care – whether the care provided met accepted medical standards or deviated from them.
• Defensibility – whether the medical aspects of the case are strong enough to support or refute claims in litigation.
This type of review helps attorneys and insurers avoid investing in cases that lack adequate medical support, while identifying those with strong, credible grounds for litigation.
