Kevin Griffiths: Kidney Expert Witness
There may come a time in your life when you find yourself in a situation where you have to appear before court and present your case. Having to stand before the court is already a daunting task in and of itself, but then having to explain your case in a coherent and simple way so that the jury understands while getting your point across is almost impossible. You may have a lawyer but they aren’t usually experts or have direct experience or knowledge when it comes to the question of “was the care provided less than standard and if so, why?”. These are the types of lawsuits medical expert witnesses often find themselves involved in.
Why an Expert Witness?
Expert Witnesses are a necessary component of many lawsuits pertaining to disputes between patients and doctors or businesses and insurance companies. They are often called upon to provide information on how and why something went wrong or to explain what the accepted standard of care is in their area of expertise. In the case of medical expert witnesses they can assist with medical malpractice claims, addressing the standard of care, proximate cause, informed consent and also determining the nature of a specific disease or condition.
It’s left up to the expert witness to lay out the medical facts, which are backed by knowledge acquired from years of experience, so that the judge and jury can have a basis upon which to make an informed decision.
