Defining Medical Legal Consulting

Dr. Feldman describes medical legal consulting as a new branch of forensic medicine. It is focused on civil cases, pre-trial and pre-litigation, where physicians answer medical questions for attorneys rather than serve as experts in court.

The work is not specialty-specific and centers on helping lawyers understand injuries, mechanisms, causation, ongoing problems, and appropriate care. This enables them to negotiate and settle cases, often in 80–90% of matters that never go to trial.

Services Attorneys Actually Need

To give a concrete feel for the role, he walks through the services he performs most often:

  • comprehensive medical summary reports that synthesize all records and outline damages, future care, and costs;
  • focused reports answering specific medical questions and supporting or refuting a theory;
  • observing independent medical exams and writing IME rebuttals; and,
  • standalone future medical care and cost reports.

These deliverables help attorneys increase case value, save time, and secure appropriate treatment for clients. And the work is intellectually engaging, well paying, and allows the clinician to apply their medical knowledge and experience without direct patient care or on call duties.

Summary

Dr. Feldman’s approach opens up a very different path, one built around pre-trial consulting, written and verbal opinions, and advocacy for injured clients through their attorneys.
