Why Do Attorneys Need an Orthopedic Expert?
Orthopedic injuries—like fractures, ligament tears, joint damage, and chronic pain conditions—are often at the center of legal disputes. These cases require accurate medical assessments and expert explanations that can clarify complex medical details for attorneys, judges, and juries.
Here’s how we help:
✔ Independent Medical Evaluations (IME) – We provide objective assessments of a patient’s condition, treatment history, and expected recovery.
✔ Expert Testimony – Dr. Bostick and Dr. Roubion have experience testifying for both plaintiff and defense attorneys, helping to break down medical concepts in a way that’s easy to understand.
✔ Medical Record Reviews – We examine past medical records, imaging, and treatment plans to provide insights on causation, severity, and future care needs.
✔ Second Opinions – Our surgeons offer professional perspectives on whether treatment was necessary and what recovery should look like.
