The disputed authenticity of a disputed medical record and need for a document examination expert can occur for a variety of reasons. Using a variety of Scientific Examinations, our document examiners seek to answer the following questions.
-
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?
