Use Case
Your firm has amassed a group of plaintiffs claiming to have developed diseases as a result of their exposure to a household cleaning product. The diseases include lymphoma, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer, and extends beyond cancer to include liver, kidney and thyroid disorders.
“Some of these claimants have complex medical histories. Should they all be included as parties to the case?”
“Can you help me understand the latest research linking similar cleaning products and the development of certain diseases?”
“Is there anything else in these clients’ medical files I need to know about before bringing them on board?”
Our in-house team of physicians will review both the medical and exposure records of any and all potential parties to help you understand the relative merit of each individual claim.
Focus on the right cases before investing time and money with a Case Merit Analysis.
“I need to hire a specialist. Ideally, this expert has been published on the relationship between cleaning products and cancer, and is willing to review a large number of files. Can Guidepoint help?”
If you proceed with the case, your team of attorneys may not have the right experts to analyze the evidence at your disposal. Our customized Expert Witness Search platform matches your firm with qualified experts from any field to support your clients’ claims.

“I’m not sure whether I should retain additional experts, such as an oncologist or an endocrinologist, but I would like to discuss the case with one to consider this approach.”

Before taking on specialized experts, conduct a one-time consultation, without the need for a retainer agreement, to gain context on their qualifications and learn if further discussion would bring additional value to the case.
