skills/legal/expert-witness-omissions/SKILL.md
Identifies medical records an expert witness failed to review, cite, or address by cross-referencing the expert's materials-reviewed list against the full case record set. Produces a tiered omissions register, methodology critique, bias analysis, and strategic recommendations for cross-examination and exclusion motions. Use in personal injury or medical malpractice litigation when challenging or defending expert credibility during discovery, pre-trial, or trial preparation.

Surfaces gaps in an expert's medical record review to support impeachment, exclusion motions, and rebuttal strategy.
| Record / Document | Date | In Case File | Cited by Expert | Gap | |---|---|---|---|---| | {Record name / provider} | {Date} | ✓ | ✗ | Omitted |
List every record in the case file. Flag all not cited or addressed by the expert.
For each omitted record:
| Field | Detail | |---|---| | Record | Name, date, provider, Bates/page cite | | Expert's assertion | Verbatim quote + transcript/report cite | | Omitted content | Key findings, values, diagnoses, clinical events | | Significance tier | Critical / High / Moderate / Low | | Inadvertent or strategic | Assessment with reasoning |
Significance tiers:
| Tier | Meaning | |---|---| | Critical | Directly contradicts expert's core opinion or key factual assertion | | High | Documents pre-existing conditions, alternative causation, or ignored treatment decisions | | Moderate | Fills timeline gaps or undermines methodology without negating the opinion | | Low | Minor oversight unlikely to affect substantive conclusions |
Characterize each pattern as confirmation bias, selective review, or inadvertent oversight:
| Pattern | Records Involved | Characterization | |---|---|---| | Systematic exclusion of pre-incident records | | | | Selective citation of favorable results, omission of contradictory values | | | | Treating physician notes omitted where they conflict with expert | | | | Single-provider reliance ignoring other treating sources | | |

Audits the complete in-scope medical-record universe in a litigation matter and produces an attorney-facing, Bates-cited analysis of treatment gaps, missing records or providers, baseline coverage, material billing or production mismatches, and complaint evolution. Use when asked to find missing medical records, analyze treatment gaps or first-care timing, identify absent providers, assess whether a production is complete, or prepare a records-request target list. Use medical-record-chronology instead when the primary request is a chronological clinical narrative.
