MY LEGAL ASSISTANT

Introduction

The process of analyzing legal documents is a crucial yet time-consuming aspect of medical malpractice litigation. Lawyers spend countless hours reviewing complex medical records, contracts, and regulatory documents to build strong cases against doctors and hospitals. However, the sheer volume and intricacy of these documents can lead to missed critical details, delayed filings, and reduced chances of success.

Recent advancements in Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) offer a transformative solution for legal document analysis. By harnessing the power of Gen AI, lawyers can now rapidly and accurately identify key evidence, patterns, and insights within large document sets. This case study explores the application of Gen AI in medical malpractice litigation, examining its potential to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and outcomes of legal document analysis.

Problem Statement

Current methods of legal document analysis in medical malpractice litigation are manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors, leading to:

• Inefficient use of lawyer time, resulting in increased costs and delayed filings
• Overwhelming volumes of complex medical records and regulatory documents, increasing the likelihood of missed critical evidence and insights
• Difficulty in identifying patterns and relationships within large document sets, hindering the development of strong legal arguments
• Inconsistent accuracy and quality of document analysis, potentially compromising case outcomes

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) can be leveraged to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness of legal document analysis in medical malpractice litigation, enabling lawyers to build stronger cases and improve patient justice.

Current Challenges

Current challenges for lawyers filing cases against doctors in hospitals for providing wrong medication or treatment:

1. Proving Medical Negligence

Establishing that the doctor deviated from the standard of care is complex and requires expert testimony, making it difficult to prove negligence.

2. Causation Issues

Lawyers must demonstrate a direct link between the doctor’s actions and the patient’s harm, which can be challenging, especially in cases with pre-existing conditions.

3. Medical Record Accessibility

Obtaining complete and accurate medical records can be problematic, with hospitals sometimes delaying or withholding information that is crucial for the case.

4. Statute of Limitations

Strict time limits on filing medical malpractice suits vary by jurisdiction, and missing these deadlines can bar the case from being heard.

5. Defensive Medicine Practices

Doctors may document more rigorously or order excessive tests to avoid liability, making it harder to distinguish actual negligence from over-cautious care.

6. Bias in Legal System

There may be an inherent bias in favor of medical professionals within the legal system, leading to higher burdens of proof for plaintiffs in malpractice cases.
