How Work is Done

Dr. Riggs utilizes her entire education and experience as well as the extensive network of healthcare professionals established during her 35 years in Nursing to focus on the needs of each attorney's client case.

Each set of case documents is meticulously organized into appropriate sections, missing documents are identified, the records then are stringently reviewed. During the review any indications of tampering or spoilation are identified and noted.

At this point an outline is constructed and a chronology of key events is developed (more detail is added at the need of the individual attorney/client). Standards of care deviations related to the outcome of the case are identified and the classes of expert witnesses needed are listed. When needed, a line-by-line analysis of pertinent portions of the records is performed in which each item is explained and standards of care breaches or adherences explicated.

As necessary, needed expert witnesses are located. Each potential expert's credentials are checked out and any publications by the potential experts are located and copied. An expert is recommended only after careful checking. Through an association with a licenced private investigator, Dr. Riggs can obtain a complete background check of the expert

At the individual attorney's request, findings can be communicated verbally or in written format. Utilizing the wonderful advantages of electronic and telephonic communications and direct overnight delivery services, Dr. Riggs can communicate findings on a timely basis.
