Case Study
Toxic Tort Litigation: Evaluating Causation Through Medical Record Analysis
Client Need
Defense counsel needed a data-driven approach to evaluate causation and assess hundreds of toxic tort claims involving alleged chemical exposure. The team required a comprehensive view of plaintiff medical histories, alleged injuries, exposure factors, and alternative causation variables.
Solution
LMI leveraged medical record retrieval, clinical review, and analytics to build a centralized plaintiff database. LMI extracted key medical, demographic, and exposure-related data; analyzed potential causation factors; developed plaintiff probability assessments; and mapped residential and school locations to evaluate potential exposure pathways.
Results
LMI transformed complex medical and exposure data into actionable litigation insights, enabling counsel to identify claim trends, assess causation risk, and make informed resolution decisions. The analysis supported settlement strategy and helped drive efficient matter resolution.
