Benzene sunscreen cases

## Benzene is everywhere. *The case has to show where this dose came from.*

Medrecords AI lines up the product use with the medical file: the sunscreen, the lots, how often it was used, every other benzene source the chart records, then the blood counts and the diagnosis. Every entry links to its page. Causation stays with your experts.

Questions

### Benzene sunscreen case review, answered.

**Do you estimate how much benzene the plaintiff absorbed?**
No. We collect every record of product use, frequency and lot with pages. Dose reconstruction is an expert opinion.

**How are other exposures handled?**
Every mention of smoking, fuel, solvents and other work exposures is flagged with its page, so your experts see them before the defense raises them.

**Can you screen a large intake of benzene claims?**
Yes. The same fields are pulled for every claimant: product, lot, use pattern, diagnosis, date and other exposures, ready for case selection.

**Do you retrieve records from providers?**
No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have, and review starts in minutes from upload.
