  1. Complex Care Solutions:What to Look for in an Expert Witness

  2. Making a clinical negligence… Making a clinical negligence or personal injury claim, which at first seems a fairly straightforward process, takes the form of a complex scenario in court proceedings and legal counselling. It is therefore important that the claimant should rely on a medical expert that can handle their clinical negligence case professionally and efficiently.

  3. Finding the right one.. While there’s a plethora of medical consultants and professionals claiming to be experts, finding one that is competent in providing quality complex care and reporting assistance becomes a daunting task.

  4. Here we’ve covered some points that will help attorneys and claimants find a professional who’s actually an expert witness. Check out following slides >>

  5. What goes without saying is finding the right expert largely depends on one’s expertise in the area. Every personal injury case, small or big, calls for an expert having a high degree of experience and knowledge.

  6. Make sure the expert is qualified, skilled and capable of crafting a clinical assessment that’s convincing enough to be accepted in a legal sense and secure the claimant.

  7. Go for an expert who has successfully handled a considerable number of witness cases. He/she should be able to present his/her opinion and findings in a way that can have the greatest impact on the legal system.

  8. Not only should an expert be able to make precise and factual observations, he should be self-assured and proficient enough to explain his opinion in front of jury, when needed. Before hiring your expert, test his/her ability to explain concepts promptly and explicitly.

  9. Get an idea of what methodology your potential expert uses. Enquire if the methodology makes sense in terms of medical and legal concepts. Added to that, see to it that the practice used by the expert meets the required standards.

  10. What else you could look for in addition to these points is references. Getting testimonials from varied clients who’ve worked with your potential expert, and are satisfied with their services can work wonders for your case. Lastly, begin your search well in advance as it takes time to find the most suitable expert.
