About Second Opinion

Second Opinion is the leader in medical malpractice and injury case evaluation for good reason. Since 1991 our company has evaluated and successfully prepared thousands of injury and malpractice cases. We know how to evaluate cases before you begin expensive and time-consuming litigation efforts. Our appraisal is the critical first step in helping you avoid expensive litigation and allowing you to focus your efforts and resources on only those cases that have real merit.

Insurance carriers handle thousands upon thousands of malpractice cases every year and have in-depth experience and experts on hand. This gives them a tremendous advantage over trial attorneys who may file only a few of these actions each year. While the case you are filing may be unique to you, the odds of it being unique to carriers are very small. Carriers have an enormous pool of experts and resources to use in defending their insureds, and statistically they don’t often lose. That’s why you need to be equally prepared.

At Second Opinion we began our careers handling over 35,000 medical malpractice cases for the defense. We understand how to evaluate negligence, causation and damages, and set dollar values for settlement and jury verdict. When we worked for the defense, we analyzed every conceivable type of case and worked with experts in all fields helping to prepare them for deposition and trial. In short we know exactly what your case will be up against because we used to work for the defense.

Now we work exclusively for trial lawyers and have built a team of professionals who can help you and your firm maximize your success in medical malpractice and medical injury cases. Finding meritorious cases requires a thorough background in malpractice and the experience that only comes with handling thousands of cases. That’s why Second Opinion is the most cost-effective resource in helping you find only the cases that have merit and deserve your time and investment.

Once the decision is made to proceed, we provide you with a thorough analysis of the liability, damages and causation issues. We will then help you obtain superior expert reports, medical testimony and advice. In short, we become an extension of your office, offering you invaluable information and the expertise needed in medical malpractice and injury cases.
