Engagement and records collection: We confirm scope and conflicts, establish the retainer, and gather the claim file, medical records, and any independent or agreed examination reports.
Records review and chronology: We build a chronology of the work injury, treatment, work status, and current clinical picture, identifying which conditions are accepted as compensable.
Clinical interview and provider collaboration: We interview the injured worker when appropriate and coordinate with treating providers to document ongoing restrictions and care needs.
Future care and return-to-work projection: We project future medical, rehabilitation, equipment, and attendant care needs and note where return-to-work is contested so the plan can be reconciled with any separate vocational opinion.
Cost research and plan preparation: We price each item using the applicable fee schedule or geographically specific provider data and document the basis for every recommendation in a written plan.
Testimony and settlement support: We provide deposition and hearing testimony and coordinate with the Medicare set-aside allocation when the claim moves toward settlement.
