Report standards

Reports built from the records themselves

Records verified against the source

Facts come from the medical records, not from summaries, and are cited by page.

Diagnostic impressions quoted word for word

Every MRI, EMG, and other study is reported with the reading physician's impression, verbatim.

Pre-existing conditions addressed directly

What was there before the injury is stated plainly, so the causation opinion that follows holds up.

Findings measured, not estimated

Range of motion is measured with an instrument and compared with published normal values.
