Personal injury refers to harm caused to an individual’s body, mind, or emotional well-being due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. In such cases, the responsible individual or organisation may be held legally liable for compensation.
Compensation outcomes often depend on the severity of injury and the strength of medical documentation. This is where Medchrono Legal adds value. Our experts assist attorneys by accurately documenting medical events, treatment history, and claimant experiences to support strong, evidence-based cases.
We support a wide range of personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian injuries, slip and fall incidents, dog bites, assaults, workplace injuries, and workers’ compensation claims.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet accepted standards of care, resulting in injury, harm, or death to a patient. These cases require careful medical analysis and precise documentation.
Our medico-legal experts support attorneys by examining critical elements such as:
The professional duty owed to the patient
Breach of the standard of care
Injury resulting from the breach
Associated damages
We commonly assist with cases involving misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, ignored laboratory results, unnecessary procedures, surgical errors, medication errors, inadequate follow-up care, premature discharge, failure to take patient history, failure to order appropriate tests, and failure to recognise symptoms. We also support matters involving toxic exposure, product-related harm, and treatment complications.
A mass tort involves a single wrongful act that causes harm to multiple individuals. While each claimant’s injuries are unique, the underlying cause is typically linked to the same product, action, or exposure.
Medchrono Legal supports mass tort litigation by organising and analysing large volumes of medical records across multiple claimants. Common examples include pharmaceutical litigation, toxic exposure cases, defective medical devices, and product liability claims. Our structured summaries help attorneys identify patterns, timelines, and medically relevant evidence efficiently.
Nursing home negligence occurs when residents suffer harm due to inadequate care, neglect, or abuse. Medchrono Legal has extensive experience reviewing records related to nursing home and long-term care cases.

Medical billing involves submitting and tracking healthcare claims to insurance providers to ensure accurate reimbursement for services rendered.
How We Do It
We ensure all billing data is captured precisely as documented, including insurance identifiers, demographic information, claim details, and payer requirements. Accurate data entry plays a critical role in claim acceptance and timely payment.
Medical coding converts healthcare diagnoses, procedures, and services into standardised alphanumeric codes used for billing, reporting, and compliance.
How We Do It
We translate clinical documentation into appropriate codes
Diagnoses are classified using ICD codes
Procedures and services are coded using CPT standards
Each diagnosis and procedure is assigned the correct numeric or alphanumeric code
Our process ensures consistency, accuracy, and compliance with regulatory and insurance standards.
