Independent Record Reviews/ Case Consultations
Referrals for record review, and case consultation are made by plaintiff, and defense attorneys, insurance companies, and case managers in worker's compensation situations in both civil and criminal court. The most common issues to be addressed by these inquiries involve the presence or absence of brain damage or psychological trauma.
Attorneys are typically confronted with neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric examinations that are difficult to understand and may conflict with other medical or psychiatric examinations. Record reviews in these situations are valuable in order to provide explanation of the results and reasons for the conflicts in the assessment process or the conclusions drawn from them. Suggestions are made regarding whether additional testing or referrals are warranted. At times, professional guidance is requested in developing pertinent questions to ask other mental health experts during a medicolegal process.
