Orthopedic Surgery Expert Witness
Most orthopedic surgeries are successful, but surgery always carries some risk. If something goes wrong after an orthopedic surgery procedure, patients often seek a second opinion and potentially legal guidance. If a patient seeks legal advice, the lawyer will typically consult an orthopedic surgery expert witness when it comes to reviewing the medical records. Medical malpractice cases need testimonies of medical experts, especially in complicated cases.
