Understanding the Role of Medical Record Review in Mass Torts

Mass torts typically involve numerous plaintiffs who have suffered similar injuries due to defective drugs, harmful products, or environmental hazards. Examples include litigation over:

  • Roundup weed killer

  • Hair relaxer chemicals

  • Talcum powder

  • Hernia mesh

  • Camp Lejeune water contamination

Each of these cases involves massive volumes of medical records, often spanning years and multiple providers. An expert medical record review helps attorneys:

  • Verify injury causation

  • Establish timelines

  • Identify pre-existing conditions

  • Highlight treatment history

  • Detect inconsistencies or red flags

This process not only supports case screening and claim validation but also plays a central role in negotiating favorable settlements.
