Orthopedic Surgeon Expert Witness FAQs

If someone experiences symptoms of a botched orthopedic surgery, you can file a claim. Typically, the claimant needs evidence that clearly identifies the problem, as a result of negligence or medical malpractice.

In case the patient has passed away or is left unable to file the lawsuit on their own, their family members or loved ones can do it on their behalf.

Hiring an Orthopedic Expert Witness is suggested by lawyers to validate a potential orthopedic medical malpractice case.

While personal injury lawyers or medical malpractice attorneys are adept within their field, most orthopedic related malpractice cases require input from an expert orthopedic surgeon to validate a case. Whether the patient received a knee arthroscopy, ACL Knee Surgery or a different orthopedic surgery, the orthopedic expert can help validate if negligence occurred.
