Founder's Advantage

When defense liaison counsel needs to assess the strength of the plaintiff pool's medical claims, a physician who can evaluate records at volume under the same criteria framework that will govern Daubert challenges is exactly what they need. Our physician's payer-side experience — evaluating claims at volume under consistent criteria — translates directly to MDL defense medical coordination.

What the screening covers

Per-plaintiff medical claim evaluation using a consistent analytical framework — identifying which plaintiff records present the strongest medical cases, which are most vulnerable to defense medical challenges, and where Daubert vulnerabilities exist across the plaintiff pool.

The same bellwether screening methodology available to plaintiff liaison counsel, applied for defense coordination. Custom scope based on plaintiff pool size and case type.
