Personal injury legal support
Fully pipelinedMedical chronology
The medical chronology is the most valuable document in a personal injury file and the most time-consuming to produce, which is why US nurse consultants charge $125 to $200 an hour to build one. We return a complete treatment chronology in two days, with a page citation on every entry.

How we actually produce this
Our pipeline produces the deliverable end to end. A qualified lawyer samples the output and signs it before it leaves us.
The pipeline is ours. It was built for legal work rather than adapted from a general product, which is why the price for this service is a published number instead of an hourly estimate.
- Why this work leaves a firm
- It is the most valuable document in a PI file and the most time-consuming to produce. US nurse consultants charge $125 to $200 an hour to build one.
- What our pipeline does
- We OCR the full record set, extract every clinical encounter with provider, date, presenting complaint, findings, diagnoses, treatment, medications and referrals, resolve conflicting dates across duplicate records, and build a dated timeline with page-level citations to the source record throughout.
- Where a lawyer steps in
- Sample verification against the source records, plus review of every flagged inconsistency.
- What it changes
- Chronologies in two days rather than three weeks, at roughly a quarter of the cost of a US nurse consultant. Firms use the turnaround to make earlier, better-informed settlement decisions.
What you receive
A complete treatment chronology with a page citation on every entry, a provider summary and a flag list.
Priced per case, with the range set by record volume and legibility. Cases above roughly 2,000 pages, or with heavy handwritten content, are sampled before we quote. We do not provide nursing or medical opinion - the chronology reports what the records say.
- A complete treatment chronology, in date order, with a page citation on every single entry
- A provider summary showing each treater, the treatment window and the volume of records from each
- A diagnosis progression view, so the development of the injury reads as a line rather than a pile
- A flag list of entries where the record is illegible, internally inconsistent, or contradicts another provider
- A treatment gap view showing periods without care, which is what the defence will look for first
- A billing cross-reference where you also send the bills, so treatment and charges line up
What it costs, and what it replaces
Both figures are published ranges for the same unit of work. Ours is fixed before we start; if our process gets faster, that is our gain and your price does not move.

How the work runs
01
Ingest and OCR the record set
Records arrive in the condition they arrive in. Faxed copies, handwritten notes and thousand-page provider dumps go in together; the pipeline OCRs, de-duplicates and orders them before a single entry is written.
02
Extract every dated treatment event
Each encounter, diagnosis, prescription, imaging study and referral is extracted with its page citation bound to it, then de-duplicated where the same visit appears in several providers' records.
03
Build the views
The provider summary, diagnosis progression and treatment gap views are generated from the same underlying entries, so they cannot disagree with the chronology or with each other.
04
Lawyer review and delivery
A qualified lawyer reviews the flag list, checks the handling of anything illegible or contradictory, and samples entries back against the records before signing.
What we need from you
- The medical records, in whatever state they arrived - scanned, faxed, mixed providers, out of order
- The date of loss and the claimed injuries
- Any prior medical history you want treated as pre-existing rather than related
- Your preferred chronology format, if you have one the carrier or your experts expect
What we check before delivery
- Every entry carries a page citation and is checked back to the record on a scored sample
- Illegible or ambiguous records are flagged for your attention, never interpreted into a clean entry
- Duplicate encounters reported by multiple providers are merged, with all sources retained on the entry
- We record what the notes say; we do not offer a medical opinion or a causation view
When firms send us this
- Building a demand package, where the chronology is the spine the rest of it hangs on
- Deciding early whether a case is worth developing, using the record rather than the intake call
- Mediation preparation, where the treatment gaps and inconsistencies need to be known before the other side raises them
- Instructing a medical expert with a cited chronology instead of a box of records
Questions about medical chronology
How does this compare with a nurse consultant?
On cost and speed it is roughly a quarter of the price and comes back in two days rather than three weeks. On scope it is narrower by design: we produce the cited chronology and the flags, and we do not offer the clinical opinion a nurse consultant might. Firms often use us for the chronology and reserve the consultant for the cases that genuinely need an opinion.
What happens with illegible handwritten notes?
They go on the flag list with the page reference, rather than being guessed at. An invented entry in a chronology is worse than a gap, because somebody will rely on it in a deposition.
Can you produce the bill summary at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper to do both together because the record set is already ingested. The damages schedule then reconciles against the same chronology rather than against a separate reading of the file.
