MARITIME AND AVIATION INJURY RECORD REVIEW

## The concealment defense is won or lost in the pre-employment physical.

Maritime and aviation injury record review services build two things the case needs: the injury chronology from the incident forward, and the pre-employment and certification medical history the employer will raise under a concealment defense. Fitness and causation opinions stay with your retained experts.

### Maintenance and cure has a defense built entirely out of records.

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 seaman and aircrew injury the governing law is federal, and one of its central defenses is decided by comparing two documents.

The standard and the referee
The rulebook
- The Jones Act at 46 U.S.C. §30104, together with the general maritime remedies of maintenance and cure and unseaworthiness, which run until the seaman reaches maximum medical improvement
- The McCorpen concealment defense, from McCorpen v. Central Gulf S.S. Corp., which asks whether the claimant concealed a material prior condition and whether it connects to the injury now claimed
- 46 CFR Part 10 and the Coast Guard merchant mariner medical certification requirements, and 14 CFR Part 67 for airman medical certification
- The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act at 33 U.S.C. §901 et seq., where the claimant is a harbor worker rather than a seaman

The referee
- The federal district court sitting in admiralty, on maintenance and cure and on the concealment defense, which is decided on the documents rather than on testimony
- The employer’s claims adjuster, who terminates maintenance and cure at maximum medical improvement on the treating record
- The Coast Guard National Maritime Center and the FAA aeromedical certification branch, which hold the certification history the defense will pull

A prior condition in the treating file that the employment physical never mentioned

How it works

### 3 steps between the crew file and the timelines.

01

#### Send the crew file

The incident and vessel or aircraft medical records, shoreside treating charts, the pre-employment physical and any questionnaires, prior records, and the certification history, in any format.

02

#### We return two timelines, page-cited

The injury course from the incident forward, and every pre-employment and certification medical contact, with each prior condition on the same body part placed against the disclosure that did or did not name it.

03

#### Your experts take it from there

Maximum medical improvement, causation and materiality under the concealment defense are all expert and judicial calls, argued on these two timelines.

The boundary, in writing

### Two timelines of the record, not a finding of concealment.

We place the disclosures and the treating record side by side and cite where they differ. We do not conclude that a claimant concealed anything, that a condition was material, that maximum medical improvement was reached, or that the incident caused the injury. Those are for the court and your experts.

In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. In a crew file that error creates a prior condition the claimant never had, which is exactly the fact a concealment defense turns on, so it is quarantined.

Powered by the platform

### 7 capabilities behind every injury and fitness timeline.

The injury and fitness timeline is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.

[

#### Medical Records OCR

Every page read in full, including the employment physical questionnaire and its handwriting.

IN ACTION · 342 pp / 2 packets → 27 documents, read in full

 [

#### Medical Chronology

Shipboard, shoreside and certification records assemble from their own dates into one sequence.

IN ACTION · pre-employment physical → current treatment, one continuous timeline

 [

#### Verifiable AI Citations

Every entry links back to its page, on both sides of the concealment question.

IN ACTION · both timelines → cited 100%

#### Medical Summary Reports

 [

#### 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
](https://medrecords.ai/product/medical-record-deduplication/)
 [

#### 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

### Maritime and aviation injury record review, answered.

No. We put the pre-employment questionnaire and physical beside the prior treating record, with pages, so both versions are visible. Whether the omission was intentional and material is decided by the court on the McCorpen elements.

The timelines are built the same way, but LHWCA claims run on their own schedule and referee and have their own page. This one is written for Jones Act seamen and for aircrew, where the general maritime remedies apply.

No. We report every treating note that addresses status and improvement, in sequence and cited. Declaring maximum medical improvement, which is what ends maintenance and cure, is a treating physician’s call.

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.
