The initial $22,000 bill for obtaining medical records in the client’s personal injury case wasn’t unusual in the industry. But the attorney needing those files paid only $51.50, through taking advantage of HIPAA and HITECH language, and an end-around to the explosion in time and medical-records costs that law firms have weathered over the past two decades.

This week CVN is revisiting the first lawsuit involving Wright Medical's hip implants to go to trial, which CVN covered in 2015 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Warner v. Wright Medical Technology Inc., BC475958. 

Arguments over driver reaction times often play a crucial role in car accident cases. In one of CVN's most impressive defense verdicts of 2017, Matthew Moffett’s cogent closing and a focus on split-second decision-making helped carry a jury decision for a driver who struck and killed a pedestrian in a crosswalk.     

As part of our continuing commitment to legal insight, education, and analysis, CVN is proud to partner with American Medical Forensic Specialists (AMFS), the nation's premier expert witness and medical-legal consultant network, to provide exclusive analyses of medical expert witnesses from high-stakes trials around the country.
