Several years ago a Plaintiff attorney had a Birth Injury Case reviewed by an OB/GYN expert who determined there were no deviations to the SOC by the L&D.
Erickson Kyler was consulted to look at the case from the resusciation standpoint.
Recognizing the value of a complete medical record overview, Erickson Kyler reviewed the entire medical record.
Erickson Kyler, disagreed with the initial review of the OB/GYN expert.
After meeting with the attorney to explain the medicine involved and the deviations found, the attorney chose to sign up the case.
As a result - two L&D nurses lost their licenses for gross negligence and the case settled for the highest amount in HCA Hospital history.
Becky Erickson Kyler, RN, BA, CLNC has the experience and expertise from reviewing 1000's of potential cases in every area of medicine over the past 12 years for more than 400 attorneys nationwide.
Her unique ability to take a 30,000 foot view of the medical records encompassing all medical specialties, nursing care, and hospital systems - to identify the deviations to the standard of care directly related to causation is powerful.
Saving Plaintff attorneys thousands of dollars in hiring multiple experts for initial reviews and the risk of receiving misguided advice about the merits of the case gives attorneys great peace of mind.
By streamlining medical record reviews and having an wide net overview of the potential case - the risk of 1) missing a potential defendent and 2) inadvertantly rejecting a valuable/meritorious case are greatly diminshed.
