Frequently asked questions

Q

What types of workers compensation depositions can CaseMark summarize?

A

CaseMark handles all workers compensation deposition types including injured worker depositions, treating physician testimony, independent medical examiner (IME) depositions, vocational experts, employer representatives, and eyewitness accounts. The tool adapts to capture injury-specific testimony whether the case involves orthopedic injuries, occupational diseases, psychiatric claims, or cumulative trauma.

Q

How does CaseMark identify inconsistencies in workers comp testimony?

A

CaseMark cross-references deposition testimony against uploaded medical records, prior discovery responses, and incident reports to flag contradictions automatically. The system highlights discrepancies in injury descriptions, treatment timelines, work restrictions, and functional abilities, providing specific citations to support impeachment or strengthen your case position.

Q

Can CaseMark extract medical expert opinions on causation and apportionment?

A

Yes, CaseMark specifically identifies and summarizes expert medical opinions on industrial causation, apportionment to pre-existing conditions, permanent disability ratings, future medical needs, and maximum medical improvement status. The summary distinguishes between the expert's qualifications, methodology, materials reviewed, and the basis for their conclusions, making it easy to evaluate expert credibility and prepare for cross-examination.

Q

How much time does CaseMark save on workers comp deposition review?

A

Manual deposition summary preparation typically takes 6-7 hours for a full-day deposition transcript. CaseMark reduces this to under 10 minutes while providing more comprehensive coverage, including automatic citation insertion, inconsistency flagging, and strategic assessments that would require additional review time manually.

Q

Does the summary include page and line citations for trial preparation?

A

Absolutely. Every key testimony point, admission, and quote includes precise page and line citations from the original transcript. This allows you to quickly locate testimony for motions, trial examination, or settlement negotiations without re-reading the entire deposition.
