Expert Review Package for Medical Malpractice

An expert-review package should be complete enough to understand the case without hiding unfavorable records

The goal is organization, not persuasion. Counsel typically needs a reliable chronology and the original records relevant to the medical question before deciding what specialty of expert review is appropriate.

Core package

• One-page event chronology
• Provider and facility list
• Complete records for the key treatment period
• Important imaging, pathology, monitoring strips, or native files
• Later treatment documenting the claimed injury
• Questions that require specialty review

Keep summaries separate from source records

Label any personal chronology or annotation as a working document. Preserve original records unchanged and identify missing records rather than filling gaps with assumptions.

Before sending sensitive material

Ask the lawyer or expert how documents should be transmitted securely. Avoid emailing full medical charts or identity documents to this website.
