A ranked map of where the record is most exposed to defense medical challenge — built from first-hand application of the same review methodology defense reviewers use.
High pressure: Documentation gaps that will anchor the defense medical theory. Treatment without objective correlation. Surgery without completed conservative care documentation.
Moderate pressure: Pre-existing conditions with inadequate differentiation from acute injury. Inconsistent functional reporting across providers.
Low-moderate pressure: Treatment gaps with no documented explanation. Unsupported impairment ratings. Missing imaging cross-references.
Low pressure: Minor inconsistencies unlikely to anchor defense arguments but may appear in cross-examination.
Understanding the defense medical exposure before the demand letter determines the settlement anchor.
Medical exposure analysis to inform reserve decisions and settlement authority.
Used alongside or as input to the Defense Medical Lens — knowing the vulnerabilities before entering mediation.
Full standalone specimen — premises liability slip-and-fall with pre-existing OA, CRPS diagnosis challenge, TKA necessity analysis, and 24 deposition questions.
