Consistent method. Individual conclusions.
Our analysis is designed to connect the medical evidence to prognosis, future care, and cost in a clear sequence.
What can be considered
- Medical records
- Diagnostic imaging
- Objective findings
- Treatment history
- Clinical course and response to care
- Mechanism of injury when relevant
- Peer-reviewed medical literature
- Professional guidelines
- Age and life expectancy
- Anticipated treatment utilization
What the method avoids
- Starting with a desired dollar amount
- Using a predetermined treatment schedule for every patient
- Treating possibility as probability
- Relying on a single finding to answer the entire prognosis question
- Changing the method based on who retained the expert
Reasonable probability
When supported by the evidence and within the expert's scope, opinions are intended to be expressed to a reasonable degree of professional probability. The report should identify the factual and medical basis for material conclusions.
Evidence First
The opinion begins with the record, not the desired outcome.
Collective Review
No single study, symptom, MRI, or treatment note automatically controls the entire prognosis.
Explain the Link
The report should show how the documented condition leads to the projected future care.
Future utilization is an estimate, not a calendar.
Future care can occur intermittently, in clusters, or with gaps between episodes. The purpose is to estimate the reasonably probable long-term treatment burden—not to predict the exact date of every future medical encounter.
