Case Screening & Evaluation

When an attorney takes on a case that involves medical issues, one of the first questions is simple: “Does this case have merit?” That’s where we come in.

At Roberts Consultants LLC, we bridge the gap between healthcare and the law by helping attorneys quickly determine the strengths, weaknesses, and overall viability of a case. Here is how we help attorneys:

Determining Case Merit

Medical malpractice, personal injury, and other health-related cases often come with thousands of pages of records and reports. We start by examining these records with a trained clinical eye. We cut through the clutter to determine whether the facts align with the claim or defense. This is to help attorneys avoid investing time and resources in cases that do not stand up to legal or medical scrutiny.

Defining Standard of Care

Every healthcare professional should follow the accepted medical standards when treating patients. We find out what those standards are for each specific situation, whether it’s emergency care, surgery, or routine treatment. By defining these standards, we can understand if the proper care was given. This helps attorneys see clearly where care met or did not meet the required standards.

Identifying Deviations or Errors

Medical errors can be subtle. A missed vital sign, delayed treatment, or incorrect medication order may be buried in the records. We identify deviations, such as whether the providers followed protocol or whether there were any lapses or delays. These could support a claim of negligence or, in defense work, highlight evidence that appropriate care was delivered.

Assessing Damages, Injuries, and Causes

We also look closely at the harm involved. Was the injury or worsening condition caused by a deviation in care, or would it have occurred regardless? Understanding causation is crucial in determining liability and potential compensation. Our clinical experience allows us to sort through complex medical details and highlight the direct connections attorneys need.

Identifying Potential Defendants

Medical cases often involve more than one responsible party. From physicians to hospitals, or even manufacturers of medical products, there can be multiple defendants in a single case. We review the case to identify all possible parties who may have contributed to the outcome, ensuring no opportunity for accountability is overlooked.

Why This Matters

Early, accurate screening sets the tone for the entire case. Instead of sifting through endless records or relying on guesswork, attorneys receive clear, evidence-based reports. This helps attorney save time, reduce unnecessary expenses, and focus their energy on cases with a clear path forward.
