Frequently asked questions

Q

How does CaseMark identify omissions in expert witness reviews?

A

CaseMark cross-references the expert's stated materials reviewed against your complete medical record set, identifying any documents not mentioned or cited. The system analyzes expert reports, depositions, and testimony to catalog what the expert claims to have reviewed, then compares this against every document in your case file. It flags discrepancies, missing records, and documents that contradict the expert's conclusions.

Q

Can this analysis help me file a Daubert motion to exclude expert testimony?

A

Yes, CaseMark provides a detailed methodology review that assesses whether omissions affect the reliability and foundation of the expert's opinion. The analysis identifies patterns of selective review, gaps in the expert's stated methodology, and omissions that could undermine admissibility under Daubert or Frye standards. You receive specific findings that can support motions to exclude or limit expert testimony based on incomplete or flawed review processes.

Q

What types of medical record omissions does the system identify?

A

CaseMark identifies all types of omitted medical documentation including clinical notes, diagnostic test results, imaging reports, lab work, treatment records, prescriptions, and specialist consultations. The system categorizes omissions by significance, highlighting records that contradict the expert's opinion, document pre-existing conditions, provide alternative causation theories, or reveal treatment decisions the expert failed to address.

Q

How quickly can I get cross-examination questions ready?

A

CaseMark generates your complete analysis including targeted cross-examination questions in approximately 25 minutes, compared to 18+ hours of manual review. The system provides ready-to-use question frameworks organized by omission type and significance, with specific citations to both the expert's statements and the overlooked records. You can immediately begin trial preparation with a structured roadmap for challenging the expert's credibility and thoroughness.

Q

Does this work for defending my own expert witness against scrutiny?

A

Absolutely. CaseMark helps you proactively identify potential weaknesses in your own expert's review before opposing counsel does. You can ensure your expert has reviewed all relevant materials, address any gaps before deposition, and prepare your expert to explain their methodology comprehensively. This defensive use prevents surprises during cross-examination and strengthens the admissibility of your expert's testimony.
