These are precise case-to-case citation links, not just opinion-level tags. This IS Shepardizing: see exactly how a case has been treated, whether it’s been overruled, and who’s still relying on it.

“What cases cite 585 F.3d 72? Has it been overruled or is it still good law?”
Then follow up
“How many total cases cite it? Show the most influential ones first.”

Litigation Profile Builder
One query builds a complete provider dossier that would take a paralegal weeks: compliance screening (130+ sources), facility affiliations, pharma payments, CMS deficiencies, and court case history across every facility they’ve worked at. Replaces $150–300/hr paralegal research.
You ask
“Build a litigation profile for this surgeon, compliance, affiliations, payments, and case history”

“They worked at 3 hospitals. Are there malpractice cases that follow them across facilities?”

You ask
“Run a full background check on this physician across every enforcement database”
Then follow up
“They have discipline in Arizona and a NPDB report. What were the actions and are they resolved?”
“Screen the opposing expert witness too, if they have discipline history, we can use it in cross-examination.”
Peer Comparison (Standard of Care)
Automated peer ranking by specialty, geography, and volume. The statistical foundation expert witnesses charge $500/hr to compile manually, generated instantly. Show exactly where a provider falls relative to 20+ matched peers.

“Find 20 similar surgeons in LA and compare billing, volume, and quality to our defendant”
Then follow up
“Our defendant’s complication rate is 2x the peer median. Show me the peer comparison chart for depositions.”
“How does their patient risk score compare? If they’re treating sicker patients, that explains higher complications.”

You ask
“How many lawsuits has Memorial Hospital been involved in? Show the trend by year.”

You ask
“Show me every provider at this hospital by specialty. How many surgeons were on staff when the incident occurred?”
Then follow up
“Compare the specialty mix to the nearest Level I trauma center. Show the gap in every specialty group.”

Then follow up
“Show only cases where the cardiology expert was challenged under Daubert. Were they excluded?”
“Find cases in the 5th Circuit where a cardiologist testified on standard of care. I need to know what arguments held up.”
Not clean, SaaS-y queries. These are the messy, multi-domain questions a litigation team actually asks on Monday morning, each one normally means four tabs, a paralegal, and a week.
“I’m vetting an expert witness for a cardiac surgery case. Pull their full background, billing, quality scores, discipline in every state, malpractice history, and pharma payments. Will they hold up under cross?”
“Build a litigation profile on the defendant surgeon. Compliance record, every facility they’ve worked at, pharma payments, and court cases across all their affiliations.”
“Find EMTALA cases in the 11th Circuit where the hospital was held liable for improper transfer. Rank by influence, then tell me if any of the top precedents have been overruled.”
“Our client was injured two years ago in Florida. Walk me through the SOL, any discovery rule, and whether the statute of repose cuts off the claim. Cite the statute.”
“The opposing expert received $342K from the drug manufacturer. Map their payments by year against their prescribing patterns, is there a signal we can use on cross?”
“The bill has CPT 99285 and 99291 billed on the same day from the same provider. Explain both codes, what Medicare pays, and whether it’s normal to bill them together.”
This is what no other platform can do. One conversation replaces Westlaw + NPDB + state board checks + billing analysis + paralegal research.
A malpractice attorney asks
“I'm evaluating a surgical malpractice case in Texas, retained sponge. What's the damage cap and SOL, find me similar retained instrument cases ranked by influence, check if the top precedent has been overruled, show me the average surgical payout in TX, build a litigation profile on the defendant surgeon, and find me a clean expert witness in thoracic surgery with no industry conflicts.”
TX non-economic cap $250K per physician. SOL: 2 years, discovery rule, 10-year repose.
Found Gale v. Lucio, 445 S.W.3d 849 (Tex. App. 2014) and 9 more retained sponge cases, ranked by legal influence.
No citing case contains “overruled” treatment in 2.6M citation-level links, precedent appears intact.
TX surgical malpractice (2020+): 714 payments, avg $205,903, median $158,333.
Defendant screened across 130+ databases. Billing patterns, pharma payments, every hospital affiliation, court cases across all facilities.
