Practices
Who it’s for
Plaintiff and defense firms, insurers, TPAs and self-insured employers get the same deliverables. What changes is which one you need first.
Plaintiff counsel
Defense and claims
Work product for a retaining professional: not legal advice, not medical advice, never sold to the public.
For personal-injury firms
The records are in. Now someone has to read them.
A personal-injury record set becomes a chronology with every fact cited to its page. Human-verified.
What you get back
- The chronology. Dated and provider-grouped.
- The record set, clean. Deduplicated, chronologically indexed and Bates-stamped, with a log of every page removed.
- A completeness report. The pages the production never delivered, as a lower bound: at least N pages did not arrive.
A fact that cannot be matched to its source page is not delivered as a fact.

For medical malpractice
The course of care, in order, one click from the chart.
A malpractice record set becomes a chronology of the course of care, every fact cited to its page. Human-verified.
What you get back
- The chronology. Dated and provider-grouped, across every provider and admission in the set.
- The record set, clean. Deduplicated, indexed and Bates-stamped, with a log of every page removed.

What a chronology is not
A Claracord chronology is not an expert opinion, and it does not satisfy a certificate-of-merit or affidavit-of-merit requirement.
A fact that cannot be matched to its source page is not delivered as a fact.

For workers’ compensation
The same document, five times, at review rates.
A workers’-compensation record set comes back deduplicated, indexed and Bates-stamped. Human-verified.
Most AI vendors in this market offer to summarize and analyze the file.
Claracord organizes records. It does not summarize them for a med-legal report, and it is not for use in QME or AME report preparation (California Labor Code section 4628).
What you get back
- The record set, clean. Deduplicated, indexed and Bates-stamped.
- A removed-page log. Every page taken out, and why.
- A completeness report, as a lower bound: at least N pages did not arrive.
- A page index. What is in the file, and where.
- A dedup certificate. Pages received, kept, removed as identical and flagged. Under the set’s legend (California Labor Code section 4628).

A records review on a defense file
Work product for the retaining professional: not legal or medical advice, never sold to the public.
For long-term disability (ERISA) counsel
The claim file and the treating records, in one chronology.
Every fact cited to its page. Human-verified.
Why the administrative record matters
In most ERISA-governed cases a court reviewing a denial looks mainly at the administrative record: the claim file as it stood at the final decision.
That makes the administrative appeal, for most claimants, the last practical opportunity to put complete medical records in front of the plan.
What you get back
- The chronology. Dated and provider-grouped across the claim file.
- The record set, clean. Deduplicated, indexed and Bates-stamped.
- A completeness report. Where pages are missing from what you send, as a lower bound: at least N pages did not arrive.
