Forensic Services - Medical Malpractice Cases

The forensic examination of Medical Records comes in various forms. The authenticity of a disputed medical record or document is called into question for a variety of reasons including:

  • Have there been any page substitutions in the medical file?
  • Have there been writing and/or notations added to a record or document at a later time?
  • Are they obliterations or alterations to the medical record, chart, or document?
  • Is the writing or other markings faded?
  • Were contested entries written in the same time frame?
  • Which entry came first?
  • Were the entries or writing written by more than one person?
  • Were the entries written with the same writing instrument?
  • Has there been back-dating of the file?

Using a variety of Scientific Examinations, the examiners of Applied Forensics seek to answer these questions pertaining to your legal case.
