Legal Med

What Legal Med does

Legal Med, LLC is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Amherst, New York, that delivers independent medical examinations (IMEs), expert witness testimony, medical record and film reviews, nurse chronologies, and record and film retrieval services for liability litigation. Its clients are insurance carriers, defense attorneys, and plaintiff attorneys handling automobile liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, and toxic tort matters, and the firm restricts its practice to liability cases rather than broader medical-legal work.

The firm operates through a nationwide panel of Board Certified physicians spanning all medical specialties, supplemented by field domain experts such as accident reconstruction and impact analysis specialists, with nurse paralegals producing chronologies and case summaries. A secure TLS-encrypted web portal at webportal.legalmed.info handles referral submission, case status tracking, record and report retrieval, and an event calendar with notifications tied to scheduling orders and expert disclosure deadlines; the security posture includes intrusion detection, network monitoring, codified incident response, and routine penetration testing, with HIPAA and CCPA compliance practices in place.

Legally structured as a New York LLC, Legal Med generates revenue on a professional services, quote-based model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales via phone, email, and the portal, augmented by educational seminars on medical-legal topics. The company reports 11–50 employees and no external institutional investors, M&A activity, or partnerships are disclosed in the available material.
