Medical expert witnesses are physicians, nurses, surgeons, or other licensed practitioners whose skills and experience qualify them to testify on a particular medical area. A medical expert witness examines the material facts of a medical-related case, such as a claimant’s medical records and lays witness testimony. In personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits, attorneys often utilize medical expert witnesses during both the discovery and trial stages. He or she also prepares written statements, creates models, prepares written reports and, of course, provides medical expert testimony before the court. A medical expert witness may be called to testify on different issues directly related to healthcare professional experience.
