Malpractice Insurance Expert Witnesses

Professional expert witnesses in the field of malpractice insurance are responsible for helping both insured parties – the victims of negligence as well as the negligent party or medical facility they believe to be at fault – understand their cases and come to a decision. These professionals look at medical records, review depositions, evaluate clinical outcomes, research relevant laws regarding standard of care, testimony in court cases and give evidence-based opinions on legal issues related to the case. As part of these duties, experts must remain current on new developments in healthcare practice standards and regulations. They need to have a thorough understanding of medico-legal concepts such as duty of care and breach thereof; causation; evaluation processes used by insurance companies; paperwork handling techniques; ethical practices; liability concepts; applicable statues/regulations etc. Expenses associated with engaging these experts are usually borne by either party depending upon case resolution. Professional expert witnesses in malpractice insurance can be crucial for both plaintiffs and defendants seeking justice based on their sound judgements that objectively analyze all information pertaining to the case under consideration without any bias towards either party involved. In doing so, they serve justice impartially while also helping both parties understand each other’s perspectives better which in turn leads towards an amicable resolution between them if possible.
