Use of Medical Records in Medical Malpractice Cases and Litigation

 
In our current litigious society, medical malpractice lawsuits are frequently filed and can greatly impact medical providers. Plaintiffs in such cases often seek millions of dollars in damages from hospitals, physicians, clinics, nurses, dentists, and nearly all other types of medical professionals. Medical records often play a critical role in the development and outcome of medical malpractice lawsuits. The contents of medical records can be the plaintiff’s or the defendant’s best friend or worst enemy. The medical records are usually generated long before a lawsuit is filed and can be viewed as a “witness” as to what actually took place. If the medical records support and reinforce the position of one of the parties, then his/her testimony is much more persuasive. If, on the other hand, the medical record is contrary to the position of one of the parties, then his/her testimony often appears less believable. For this reason, as well as others, plaintiffs and defendants in medical malpractice (and all types of personal injury) lawsuits spend tremendous amounts of time identifying, collecting and analyzing medical records.
