Second Opinion Inc., provides the most cost effective mechanism for evaluating and resolving medical malpractice actions!  

Second Opinion can do this because all cases are evaluated in house by individuals who have a minimum of 15 years experience analyzing medical malpractice cases. Some members of our staff have been evaluating these matters since 1973. Only those cases likely to produce positive results are sent to an expert for a formal review. This saves the plaintiff trial attorney significant time and money in  screening potential medical malpractice cases. Positive reports are generated in over 75% of cases sent to experts.

Our experience is unique.

Our staff has spent many years evaluating and resolving medical malpractice cases on behalf of medical malpractice insurance companies. One of our principals created seven captive medical malpractice insurance companies for medical societies throughout the country. Our staff members administered over 35,000 medical malpractice cases for the defense; however, since 1991 we have plied our trade strictly on behalf of plaintiffs. During this time we have evaluated over 5,000 cases. The understanding gained in handling over 40,000 medical malpractice actions makes our staff the most experienced in the nation.
