FOR LAWYERS:
About Medical Experts
Experts come in all shapes and sizes with variable skills, knowledge and experience (pretty much like lawyers). Knowledge and experience specific to your case are obviously important factors to consider in retaining a medical or scientific expert. Professional reputation, appearance and dress, speech and demeanor are other important items, especially in court. Even a witness with a long list of publications and degrees from prestige institutions will not help your case much if he or she seems confused or poorly prepared or not credible. Remember, only so much can be learned from a resume.
Our experts and reviewers cover all the medical, surgical and mental health subspecialties. They are board-certified and well-established in their fields. Many have unique training and areas of expertise. Sometimes we do not have a particular expert to suit your case. If we do not have the expert that you need on one of our panels, we will find a non-panel expert for you. We maintain a large database of experts in essentially all the medical and paramedical specialties.
LawPhysicians will find an expert appropriate to your case and contact you with price, location and other critical data. We will make every effort to fulfil your preference for location, price and other specific requirements. In addition, we try to check an individual's qualifications to be as sure as possible that he or she is appropriate for your case. You are always free to discuss the case and potential credibility problems with an expert before deciding to use him or her. If you approve, we will send you a contract for the expert's services.
Most of our experts are comfortable working with either plaintiff or defense attorneys. Intellectual honesty and the ability to work harmoniously with an attorney are also crucial factors. Occasionally, these two will come into conflict. We can usually resolve an impasse if one arises. However, if there is a problem which cannot be resolved, we can usually find a satisfactory solution or a substitute expert.
