Medical Malpractice Merit Review
Medical malpractice matters demand a physician in the same specialty as the one whose care is in question. CauseMD provides a same-specialty merit screen: a defined-scope assessment of whether the standard of care was met and whether any breach caused the alleged harm.
What Medical Malpractice Merit Review Delivers
A same-specialty physician evaluates the chart against the accepted standard of care, isolates the decisive clinical moments, and renders a clear opinion on breach and causation — the merit screen you run before filing or before retaining a testifying expert.
The output is an honest, well-grounded read of the merits: it supports a strong claim, flags a weak one, and gives you a defensible basis to advise your client — stated without any promise of outcome.
What's included
- Same-specialty standard-of-care analysis
- Breach and causation opinions
- Pre-filing merit screen, defined scope and price
- Stated in neutral, defensible terms
