How Technology Is Transforming Evidence Management for Malpractice Attorneys
March 18, 2025
In this rapidly evolving digital age, technology has transformed the way malpractice attorneys collect, analyze, and present evidence in legal cases. As advancements continue to shape the legal landscape, attorneys must adapt to new methods of gathering and verifying information. The growing reliance on digital tools is redefining how malpractice claims are handled, ensuring that legal professionals have access to more comprehensive and efficient ways to manage evidence. These changes are streamlining case preparation and enhancing the overall accuracy of legal proceedings.
1. Evidence Management in Malpractice Cases
One of the most significant shifts in malpractice law is the increasing use of digital tools to manage evidence. Legal professionals now rely on technology to store, retrieve, and authenticate key documents, making it easier to organize case materials and track developments. Attorneys must navigate various digital platforms to ensure accuracy and accessibility, allowing them to build more effective legal strategies. As technology advances, the ability to efficiently manage evidence continues to improve, benefiting both attorneys and their clients.
2. Information Processing in Legal Cases
Technological advancements are also influencing how malpractice attorneys analyze information. With new tools available to process large amounts of data, attorneys can more effectively identify critical patterns and inconsistencies. These innovations provide greater insight into case details, helping attorneys strengthen their arguments and present well-supported claims. As technology continues to evolve, the ability to process information with greater speed and accuracy is becoming an essential part of legal strategy.
3. Legal Investigations in Malpractice Law
Technology is also reshaping how attorneys approach legal investigations. Digital advancements allow attorneys to verify the authenticity of information, detect inconsistencies, and enhance the credibility of evidence. As legal professionals integrate these tools into their practice, they gain greater confidence in the integrity of the materials they present in court. These developments not only reinforce the reliability of legal proceedings but also help ensure that malpractice cases are built on solid, verifiable evidence.
As technology continues to evolve, malpractice attorneys will need to stay ahead of emerging trends to provide the most effective representation for their clients. The ability to adapt to new tools and methodologies is key to navigating the modern legal landscape. Contact our team at Edmond & Lindsay, LLP today to get connected with our attorney services.

Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Sr., the parents of a child who tragically died during a difficult birth last summer, spoke Wednesday following news that the death was officially ruled as a homicide by the medical examiner's office. The Clayton County Medical Examiner's Office said the cause of death was from a "fracture-dislocation with complete transection, upper cervical spine and spinal cord." It also said that ruling the manner of death as a homicide means the death was caused by the actions of another person. At this time, there is no word on whether charges will be filed against anyone in light of the news. Clayton County Police are still investigating the case. Lawyers for the family touched on the multiple lawsuits launched behind the death, including against the hospital, which the council alleges attempted to cover up the child's manner of death. Taylor said, "We want justice for our son; they lied to us." Meanwhile, Ross was next to his side, fighting to hold back tears. She eventually left the room. "It's been tough on the whole family," one of the lawyers told reporters. "They have been strong and resilient." The family's legal team also specified that they are still working to depose all those who were in the room at the time of the birth. 11Alive's Molly Oak spoke with the family after the press conference. The parents opened up more about the pain they're dealing with. "I just want justice for my baby boy. I’m hurt. I’m hurt bad. [The doctor] hurt me. She took my baby," said Ross. "She didn’t show no emotions. I just want justice for my baby." Both Ross and Taylor said the hospital staff did not allow them to hold their child after delivery. They said not being able to carry their child, one that bears Taylor's name, still causes them pain. "It hurts, it hurts. Because I wanted to hold him, and they kept telling me no," Ross said as she started crying. Shaking his head in disbelief, Taylor said he didn't get to touch the infant. He said the delivery process and outcome was "shocking" and still gives him "chills." "Because they lied to us," Taylor said, saying he's experienced a mix of emotions. "They played in our face. They tried to cover it up. They didn’t tell us the details of what happened." Both the couple and their lawyers said they want answers and need people to speak up. "Just come forward, please. The nurses that was in the room. Please just come forward please. I just want justice for my baby," Ross said tearfully. She thinks about her baby every day and said she doesn't think she will ever heal from this. " I know he's watching over us," Taylor added.

After suffering the horrific loss of their first child during delivery July 10, 2023, parents Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Sr. were shocked to learn that the doctor they hired to conduct an autopsy following their baby's death by decapitation secretly recorded graphic video of his medical examination of their baby and posted the video to his Instagram account, all without the family's knowledge or permission. Ms. Ross and Mr. Taylor filed a lawsuit earlier this week against Dr. Jackson Gates and Gates Rapid Diagnostic Laboratory of Atlanta alleging invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress and fraud. According to the complaint, Ms. Ross paid Dr. Gates $2,500 to conduct a postmortem examination. The contract did not give Dr. Gates permission to film the examination or disseminate video of said examination. The complaint contends that in addition to suffering the heartbreaking loss of their first child, Ms. Ross and Mr. Taylor were outraged when they learned that Dr. Gates had posted several videos of the grisly and graphic video to his Instagram account. The family's attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter to Dr. Gates advising him to immediately remove the videos from his account. "After suffering one of the most heartbreaking losses any family could ever endure, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Jr. had salt poured into their unfathomable emotional wounds when they discovered that video of their baby's very graphic medical examination had been made public by the very doctor they entrusted to conduct the autopsy. This is one of the most egregious and outrageous cases of 'clout chasing' we have ever encountered. Dr. Jackson Gates attempted to exploit our clients horrific loss to boost his own social media profile, without permission of the family. We intend to ensure that Dr. Gates is held accountable for this unbelievable invasion of our clients' privacy. We have also reported this incident to the medical examiner's board for their investigation." The couple are represented by attorneys Dr. Roderick Edmond and Keith Lindsay of Edmond & Lindsay, LLP along with attorney Cory Lynch of The Law Office of Cory J. Lynch, LLC.
20-year-old Jessica Ross and her boyfriend Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Sr. were eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child July 9 but were devastated to learn that not only did their baby not survive the delivery, he was tragically decapitated in the process. Ms. Ross and Mr. Taylor will today announce that they have filed a lawsuit against the doctor, the hospital, several nurses and the medical group who delivered their decapitated baby. During the attempted vaginal delivery, the baby’s shoulders got stuck in the vaginal canal (shoulder dystocia). The complaint alleges that the obstetrician, Tracey St. Julian, M.D., negligently applied excessive force on the baby’s head and neck during the attempted vaginal delivery resulting in the baby’s decapitation. It also alleges that Dr. St. Julian and the hospital nurses failed to do a Cesarean section on Mr. Ross in a timely manner, failed to call in a timely manner to get help from other healthcare providers as well as other allegations. According to the complaint, the baby's legs and torso were delivered through the incision in Ms. Ross’ uterus without the head. The baby’s head was then delivered vaginally. In the complaint, Ms. Ross and Mr. Taylor also allege that the doctor and the hospital engaged in intentional fraud and an attempt to coverup the fact that their baby was decapitated. More specifically, the complaint contends that Dr. Tracey St. Julian purposefully did not tell Ms. Ross and Mr. Taylor that their baby had been decapitated when she initially spoke with the couple a few hours after the delivery. Also, healthcare workers at the hospital knowingly lied to the young couple by falsely telling them that a free autopsy was not an option for them under the circumstances. The complaint alleges that this false information was given to avoid a forensic autopsy and to obstruct the gathering of evidence. Furthermore, the complaint alleges that healthcare providers at the hospital pressured the young couple to cremate their baby in an attempt to destroy evidence. When the Ms. Ross and Mr. Taylor demanded to see and hold their baby, hospital staff told them that they were not allowed to touch or hold their child. Hospital staff allowed the young couple to only view their dead child, not hold or touch him. During this viewing, their baby was wrapped tightly in a blanket with his head propped on top of his body in a manner such that those viewing him could not identify that he had been decapitated. Ms. Ross and Mr. Taylor were not told about the decapitation until July 13, 2023, 3 days after the delivery and a full day after Ms. Ross had been discharged from the hospital. The couple are represented by attorneys Dr. Roderick Edmond and Keith Lindsay of Edmond & Lindsay, LLP along with attorney Cory Lynch of The Law Office of Cory J. Lynch, LLC.
