What was life like before—and what changed?
Medical records establish treatment. They often do not fully capture how an injury changed a person's independence, family role, employment, mobility, daily activities, relationships, community life, and future.
NMMAA can conduct structured client and collateral-witness interviews and turn those observations into concise attorney-ready case-impact materials.
Important scope boundary
NMMAA does not render medical opinions, determine standard of care, establish causation, calculate legal damages, or provide legal advice. Counsel controls the engagement, relevance, privilege/work-product strategy, and use of every deliverable.
Case preparation focused on the client's lived impact.
Before & After Client Profile
A clear narrative comparing work, independence, mobility, household role, caregiving, hobbies, social participation and daily function before and after the event.
Functional Impact Matrix
A side-by-side table of Before | After | Potential Supporting Witness/Evidence to help counsel spot damages evidence quickly.
Human-Impact Chronology
A non-medical chronology of major functional and life changes from the incident through rehabilitation and the present.
Collateral Witness Summaries
Structured summaries from spouses, adult children, coworkers, friends, caregivers or others who observed the client's life before and after.
Evidence Index
An organized index of attorney-approved photos, videos, employment material, activity history and other potential impact evidence.
Executive Impact Summary
A concise attorney-facing overview identifying the strongest before/after themes, corroborating witnesses and areas that may warrant deeper development.
Areas NMMAA can develop with the client.
Before the Injury
- Employment and earning role
- Walking, driving and mobility
- Personal care and independence
- Household responsibilities
- Parenting and caregiving
- Exercise, hobbies and travel
- Church, community and social life
- Marriage, intimacy and family role
- Pre-existing limitations that should be accurately distinguished
After the Injury
- ADL and mobility limitations
- Work loss or reduced capacity
- Need for family/caregiver assistance
- Transportation dependence
- Loss of household functions
- Activities no longer possible or significantly altered
- Relationship and family-role changes
- Social/community withdrawal
- Future concerns and continuing accommodations
NMMAA does not need to warehouse the client's case file.
Law Firm Defines Scope
Counsel identifies the client, assignment, approved interview subjects and desired deliverables.
Secure Firm Workspace
When sensitive documents are necessary, the law firm's approved portal or secure workspace remains the system of record.
NMMAA Interviews
Structured interviews focus on functional change and corroborating observations rather than collecting an entire medical chart.
Attorney-Ready Package
NMMAA delivers the agreed narrative, matrices, witness summaries or evidence index to counsel.
Closeout
Working copies are returned or deleted according to the engagement terms and documented retention policy.
What a useful Before & After summary looks like.
Before
Client worked full time as an elementary school teacher, drove independently, prepared most family meals, managed household finances, attended church twice weekly and cared for grandchildren on weekends.
After
Client no longer drives, requires assistance with bathing and lower-body dressing, cannot stand long enough to prepare a complete meal and has not returned to classroom teaching. Her daughter now manages transportation, groceries and multiple household tasks.
Engagements can scale with the case.
