Profile:

Medilex has been providing high-quality, cost-effective medical experts and expertise to plaintiff and defense counsel since 1992. The majority of attorneys who call us are either unsure of, or simply do not know, which medical specialist(s) they need – especially in medically complex matters. The incorrect decision will result in the cost to replace the expert (at best) and the loss of the case (at worst). We believe so strongly that a pre-review medical-legal consultation is necessary that we provide it – Medilex Triage – without cost or obligation.

Triage is a free, no obligation telephone case analysis with our director who combines the broad-based medical knowledge derived from devoting the past 20 years to analyzing more than 15,000 complex medical-legal cases with both actual practice as an attorney and an intimate appreciation of the spectrum of medical specialties. Triage helps identify implicated expert specialty field(s); determine the most cost-efficient order of review (if multiple experts are needed); formulate methodical strategy; explain the medicine; frame medical arguments; and, detect dispositive issues.

After Triage, Medilex experts in more than 170 medical specialties are available to review materials, consult with attorneys, prepare written reports, work on affidavits, and provide expert testimony. Most experts are current or former department chiefs and/or medical school faculty, and range from well-published academicians to private practitioners.

Founded in 1992 by an internist/geriatrician, a cardiologist, and an attorney, Medilex has been most well-known for its specialization in medical malpractice cases. We also frequently handle wrongful death suits, pain and suffering evaluations, cause and manner of death/injury determinations, toxic exposure assessments, forensic psychiatric determinations (e.g., mental status, criminal intent), complex causation analyses, criminal matters (e.g., child abuse, assault, murder), lead exposure, and mold cases.

In addition to Triage, Medilex also provides these critical reassurances:

  • Cost Control Guarantee: If our expert’s initial review and verbal report can not be provided for Medilex’s minimum fee, the attorney will not be obligated to proceed. Rather, we will commit, in advance, to the exact balance that would be required for the initial review and verbal report.
  • Methodical Case Supervision Throughout: Each case is supervised throughout its entire process by a knowledgeable, accessible, experienced medical-legal liaison.
