EMOTIONAL DAMAGES RECORD REVIEW

A damages opinion is decided on the record before the incident.

Emotional damages record review services assemble what a psychological injury claim turns on: the plaintiff’s mental health history before the index event, the treatment course after it, intervening stressors, and medication changes, each linked to its page. The diagnosis and the causal opinion belong to the evaluator.

The diagnostic manual is published. So is the judge who screens the opinion.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In civil psychological damages claims, both are already published.

The standard and the referee
The rulebook
  • The forum’s tort law on emotional distress damages, including any physical injury or zone of danger requirement and the rules on parasitic versus standalone claims
  • DSM-5-TR, whose criteria an opinion of post-traumatic stress disorder or major depressive disorder has to be traced to element by element
  • Federal Rule of Evidence 702 as amended in December 2023, under which the proponent must show the opinion reflects a reliable application of the method to the facts of the case
  • The APA Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychology, which require the evaluator to consider information that does not support the retaining party’s position
The referee
  • The trial court at a Rule 702 hearing, which excludes an opinion the reviewed record does not support
  • The opposing retained psychologist or psychiatrist, who reads the same chart for the pre-incident entries the report left out
  • The jury, told by cross-examination how much of the claimed distress predates the event

How it works

3 steps between the record and the damages opinion.

01

Send the whole file

Primary care, psychiatry, psychotherapy notes, pharmacy history, employment and school records, and the accident or incident records, in any format.

02

Get the digest back, page-cited

A single timeline separating what the record documents before the index event from what it documents after, with every intervening stressor named and cited.

03

The evaluator forms the opinion

Diagnosis, causation and the extent of psychological injury are the evaluator’s to reason to and to sign. The digest is the cited record beneath the reasoning.

The boundary, in writing

A cited record, not a diagnosis.

We assemble and cite what the record documents. We do not diagnose, apply DSM-5-TR criteria to a person, opine on causation, or estimate the value of a distress claim. Those are clinical and legal judgments and they stay with the professional who signs.

The most common failure in these files is a pre-incident therapy note nobody read. The digest carries the pre-incident history as its own section rather than folding it into a summary, so it is read before the opinion is written instead of at deposition.

Powered by the platform

7 capabilities behind every psychological damages record digest.

The psychological damages digest is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.

Medical Records OCR

Psychotherapy notes are read in full, including the handwritten intake forms where prior episodes are usually first recorded.

IN ACTION · 1,240 pp / 9 providers, read in full

Medical Chronology

The timeline splits at the index event, so pre-existing course and post-incident course are visible side by side rather than blended.

IN ACTION · pre-incident → post-incident, one timeline

Verifiable AI Citations

Every stressor in the digest links to the entry that documents it. Nothing is inferred from a diagnosis code.

IN ACTION · digest → cited 100%

Medical Summary Reports

It exports into the evaluator’s report structure or the damages section of a demand, in your format.

IN ACTION · digest → report section

Medical Record Deduplication

Forty charts pulled from multiple practices and EHR migrations carry their share of duplicate visit notes. Each is matched and collapsed to one canonical record, so the prescribing pattern is read once per real encounter.

IN ACTION · 40 charts → duplicate visit notes collapsed to 1 record each

Missing Records Identification

A prescribing pattern read across 40 charts is only as sound as the file behind it. When a chart references a visit, refill, or referral that never made it into the production, the gap is flagged before the pattern goes to the board.

IN ACTION · prescribing pattern cross-checked → gaps flagged before submission

Cross-Exam Simulator (beta)

A board investigator or defense counsel builds a case from the chart abstraction. This beta tool maps the questioning a physician facing that hearing is likely to face on the gaps and pattern in their own record. A rehearsal tool, not legal advice.

IN ACTION · prescribing pattern → likely hearing questions mapped (beta)
FAQ

Emotional damages review, answered.

No. Diagnosis requires an examination and a licensed clinician, and it stays with the evaluator. We assemble the cited record underneath it: prior episodes, treatment course, medications and stressors, each linked to its page.

Because that is where the claim is usually attacked. A summary that blends four years of prior treatment into the narrative hides exactly what opposing counsel will find. Keeping it separate and cited means the opinion is written with it in view.

Yes. The record does not change depending on who ordered the review. The same cited digest shows where claimed distress has no supporting entry and where the pre-incident record already documents it.

No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes.

Send one file. We'll tell you what we can read.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
