Medical Record Review Built for High-Volume Mass Tort Dockets
Mass tort work is a volume problem with little room for error. A single claimant can bring thousands of pages from pharmacies, physicians and hospitals. Each MDL sets its own qualifying injuries, proof-of-use rules and timing windows. Plaintiff Fact Sheet deadlines and settlement grids leave no room for gaps, and in-house staff rarely scale when intake spikes.
Our mass tort medical review service gives your firm a dedicated team that applies your case criteria the same way to every file. We flag missing records at the start, not the week before a deadline, and return documents your attorneys and case managers can use directly for intake decisions, PFS completion and settlement tiering. Medical records for mass tort law firms must be comparable across hundreds of claimants, and every deliverable is built that way.

Order any service on its own or combine them into a full case workup. Every deliverable is prepared by our in-house team of licensed physicians and medico-legal analysts, with each entry cited to its source page.
Mass Tort Case Screening & Intake Review
Mass tort screening tells your team which referrals are worth pursuing before a full workup. We check each file against the litigation’s criteria and your intake checklist, then sort every claimant into one of three groups: qualifies, does not qualify or needs more records. Anything uncertain is flagged for attorney review, the legal decision stays with your firm.
- Proof of product use or exposure, with page citations
- Qualifying diagnosis and date of diagnosis
- Timing and latency checked against the litigation's criteria
- Red flags such as competing causes or gaps in the record
Mass Tort Medical Chronologies
A mass tort medical chronology connects product use or exposure to the injury and the treatment that followed, in date order, with every entry linked to its source page. Every claimant gets the same structure, so cases compare side by side. Learn more about our medical chronology services.
- Exposure or product-use timeline
- Diagnosis, treatment and outcomes
- Pre-existing conditions and alternative causes flagged
Plaintiff Fact Sheet (PFS) & Profile Form Support
Most MDLs require every plaintiff to complete a Plaintiff Fact Sheet or Plaintiff Profile Form, and deficient submissions can lead to deficiency notices, delays or dismissal. We cross-reference the medical records against each PFS question so your answers are complete and consistent with what the records show. Conflicts are flagged before submission, not after.
- Medical history, providers and treatment dates pulled from the records
- Product use and injury details matched to source pages
- Pre-existing conditions and alternative causes flagged
Missing Records Identification
Gaps in the record are a common reason mass tort claims stall. As we review each file, we identify missing providers, date gaps and absent pharmacy, implant or pathology records, then give your team a request list it can act on right away. Missing records identification is included free with our review services.
- Providers mentioned in the records but missing from the file
- Date ranges with no records
- Missing pharmacy fill histories, operative reports or device identification records
Causation-Focused Medical Opinions
When a claim turns on whether the product or exposure caused the injury, our physicians review the records and give a written opinion on the medical link, including the alternative causes the defense is likely to raise. These are consulting opinions to support your case evaluation and strategy, not testifying expert reports. See our expert medical opinions service for details.
- Medical link between the product or exposure and the diagnosis
- Alternative causes and pre-existing conditions
Settlement & Claims Documentation
As a docket moves toward resolution, each claimant’s injuries must be documented to match the settlement grid. We prepare structured summaries for settlement tiering, bellwether pool review and claims administrator submissions, including injury severity and damages. Where your cases need them, we also prepare medical billing summaries and settlement demand letters.
- Injury severity summaries mapped to tier criteria
- Documentation packages for claims administrators
Mass Tort Case Types We Review
Each type of mass tort turns on different evidence. Our reviewers build every chronology around the proof your litigation requires.
Pharmaceutical Mass Tort Medical Record Review
Drug claims rest on proving that the plaintiff took the medication, for how long, and when the injury appeared. We track prescription and pharmacy fill records, drug name and NDC, dose and duration, the prescribing provider and the date of diagnosis. We also note timing against label or warning changes and flag competing causes. Each pharmaceutical mass tort medical chronology lays this out in date order with page citations. Examples include Depo-Provera, GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Ozempic, proton pump inhibitors and Suboxone film.
Medical Device Mass Tort Medical Record Review
Device claims depend on identifying the exact product and documenting what happened after it was implanted. We pull the implant date and operative report, the manufacturer, model and lot or serial number from implant records, and every complication, revision or explant surgery that followed, along with the relevant imaging. Missing device identifiers are flagged as priority record requests. Each medical device mass tort medical chronology ties the device to the injury with citations your team can verify. Examples include hernia mesh, implanted port catheters, Exactech orthopedic implants, IVC filters and the Paragard IUD.
Toxic Tort Medical Record Review
Toxic tort claims often span decades between exposure and diagnosis. We document exposure history, whether occupational, residential or through product use, along with its duration and the latency to diagnosis. Pathology and oncology records are summarized in detail, and smoking history, family history and other alternative causes are flagged for attorney review. Each toxic tort medical chronology places exposure and disease course on one timeline. Examples include AFFF firefighting foam, Paraquat, talc and hair relaxer.

Frequently Asked Questions
It includes screening each claimant against the litigation’s criteria, a source-cited medical chronology, a cross-check of records against Plaintiff Fact Sheet questions, missing records identification and settlement summaries. Firms can order one service or the full workup.
We apply your firm’s criteria, usually proof of product use or exposure, a qualifying diagnosis and timing, to every file in the same way. Each case is sorted into qualifies, does not qualify or needs more records, and your attorneys make the final call.
In a class action, plaintiffs are treated as one group and share a single outcome. In a mass tort, each plaintiff must prove their own injury, causation and damages, even when the cases are consolidated in a multidistrict litigation (MDL). That is why every file needs its own medical record review. Read more about mass tort litigation trends.
A Plaintiff Fact Sheet is a standardized questionnaire required in most MDL proceedings. Incomplete or inconsistent submissions can lead to deficiency notices, delays or dismissal. We cross-reference each claimant’s medical records against the PFS questions, cite the source pages and flag any conflicts so your team can resolve them before submission.
Yes. For pharmaceutical cases, we track prescriptions, pharmacy fills, dose and duration. For medical device cases, we identify the device from implant records and document complications and revisions. For toxic tort cases, we document exposure history, latency and alternative causes such as smoking or family history.
Yes. We use one template for every claimant and deliver large dockets in batches on a schedule you set. Because every file has the same structure, your attorneys can compare cases side by side for settlement tiering and bellwether selection.
Standard turnaround is 48 to 72 hours, with free expedite for urgent files. The actual time depends on page volume and the number of claimants in a batch, so we send an hours estimate before work begins and agree on a delivery schedule for larger dockets.
Yes. Screening and chronology work typically begins at intake, long before a settlement program is announced. Early documentation often determines whether a claim is viable and keeps your files ready for settlement or bellwether selection.
