April 9, 2024

In our commitment to providing comprehensive support, Trivent Legal continually seeks innovative solutions in medical negligence cases. While our focus remains on addressing client needs and negligence claims, we identify opportunities to introduce new tools that amplify case value. The following case study exemplifies our proactive approach, where a customized report facilitated a crucial side-by-side comparison for our client’s mediation process.

How did Trivent Legal assist our medmal attorney-client to document the damages against the healthcare provider?

Our client, a 70-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer, underwent regular CT monitoring between 2018 and 2023. In 2021, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Alleging a delay in diagnosis, the attorney sought our assistance. Trivent legal task was to provide a medical timeline and extract radiological images, involving reviewing approximately 25,000 images.

What Significant Findings Did Trivent Legal Uncover During the Image Review Process?

While the initial request focused on the medical timeline and image extraction, our MD Radiologist meticulously reviewed the images. We identified a lung nodule in a 2018 CT scan initially labeled as “Unremarkable.” Despite the attorney’s focus on the period between 2021 and 2023, our radiologist asserted that the misinterpretation and delay occurred as early as 2018.

Recognizing the significance, we proposed developing a Special Report comparing the images with the treating radiologist’s impression alongside our MDs’ impressions.

How Did the Client Respond to Trivent Legal’s Customized Report?

The client’s feedback affirmed the utility of our customized report, stating, “we did review the report. It was perfect, exactly what I needed for my mediation brief. we don’t understand how the radiologists missed this. This poor gentleman is now stage IV. Thanks again. We will definitely use your services again.”
