Damages Strategy

Objective Quantification of “Loss of Lifestyle”

Defense counsel invariably argues that subjective complaints of pain and decreased mobility are exaggerated. To counter this, we introduce objective, longitudinal biometric data to substantiate claims of physical decline.

Establishing the Baseline

We extract historical data from the client’s cloud accounts to construct a “Before & After” activity profile, establishing a pre-accident baseline of activity. This moves the argument from “The plaintiff says they cannot run” to “The plaintiff’s device recorded a 94% decrease in ambulation immediately following the date of loss.”

The Data Visualization Strategy

We prepare exhibits suitable for admissibility hearings that clearly demonstrate:

• Pre-Incident Activity: e.g., Average 8,500 steps/day; Resting heart rate 65 bpm.
• Post-Incident Activity: e.g., Average 900 steps/day; Resting heart rate 78 bpm (correlating with pain response/stress).

This approach transforms “Loss of Enjoyment of Life” from a vague non-economic claim into a quantified damage element, strengthening the position during settlement negotiations.

Mass Tort Administration

Automated Census Management: The “PFS” Bot

The primary bottleneck in Mass Tort administration is the Plaintiff Fact Sheet (PFS). Manually extracting data to populate thousands of these documents creates a significant staffing burden and increases the risk of transcription errors.

Regex & OCR Implementation

We ingest the raw medical records for your entire claimant census. Our system utilizes Regex (Regular Expressions) to identify and extract critical criteria required for the settlement matrix:

• Pharmaceutical Usage: Precise start and end dates of prescription coverage.
• Diagnosis Verification: Confirmation of specific ICD-10 Codes (e.g., C34.90 Malignant neoplasm) required for tier qualification.
• Facility Identification: Extraction of NPI numbers and facility locations for jurisdiction establishment.

We then auto-populate the PFS fields, allowing your team to focus on high-value claimant interaction rather than data entry. This process ensures consistency across the census and accelerates the move toward global settlement.

Medical Malpractice Forensics

The “Override” Alert: Electronic Discovery of Intent

In Medical Malpractice litigation, the printed PDF record often obscures the decision-making process. The metadata within the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) audit trail provides the necessary context regarding the Standard of Care.

Analyzing the Audit Trail

Modern EMR systems generate “pop-up” alerts for critical events such as “Drug Interaction,” “Allergy Warning,” or “Sepsis Protocol.” These alerts require an active decision by the provider to bypass.

We extract and analyze the backend audit logs to identify the “Override” event. We can demonstrate to the jury the exact timestamp the provider was warned of potential harm, and the subsequent timestamp indicating their decision to click “Ignore” or “Proceed.” This evidence is critical in establishing a breach of the Standard of Care and moving the case from simple negligence to potential gross negligence.
