Pre-filing case merit review
A preliminary read of the records you have, by a licensed nursing home administrator, before the firm commits to the case.
Plaintiff firms evaluate far more nursing home matters than they file. ECS reviews the records available at that stage and gives counsel a preliminary read on whether the care and regulatory issues support taking the case on.
Most firms use this per case. Some arrange it on a standing basis when their intake volume justifies it. Either way the deliverable is the same: a direct conversation with the reviewer, not a report you have to decode.
Fees depend on the expert whose discipline the matter calls for, so ECS quotes each review individually and sends the fee schedule before any work begins.
Who it is for
Plaintiff firms that evaluate more nursing home matters than they file and want a clinical and regulatory read before committing to records, experts and time.
What it includes
- Preliminary review of the records you have
- Direct conversation with a licensed nursing home administrator
- Available per case, or on a standing arrangement for higher-volume intake
- Clinical and regulatory issues only; legal conclusions stay with counsel
How it works
Send what you have
Intake notes, a partial chart, hospital records. A full production is not needed for a first read.
Direct conversation
The reviewer walks through the care and regulatory issues the records raise, and which expert discipline the case would need.
Your decision
Legal conclusions stay with counsel. The review tells you what the records show and what they do not.
