Experts for Deposition and Testimony
In many legal cases, technical questions surrounding medical issues arise. Presenting these issues accurately and decisively during mediation and litigation to a mediator or other parties with limited medical background can be the difference between a case won or lost. Legal medical reviews provide expert medical support with evidence-based reviews that address extent of injury, causation and relatedness, necessity of treatment/surgeries, and pre-existing medical issues.
Experts with subject matter knowledge can do in-depth research on an injury, condition, specific treatment, chronology of treatment, or other medical history. They are often asked for depositions and testimony in order to establish credibility for their findings. A succinct synopsis can focus attention on points of interest.
