Here is a sample expert opinion in a car accident case: Sandy Smithson MD, and Mika Juno, MD, and/or other personnel of Caremount Medical, 30 Columbia St. Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 are experts in orthopedic medicine. They are expected to testify regarding the treatment rendered to the Plaintiff following a car crash on Pratt Street in Baltimore, Maryland on January 4, 2020.
They will testify that there is a causal relationship between the injuries sustained in the motor vehicle collision and Plaintiff’s post-motor vehicle collision medical treatment and that bills generated from Plaintiff’s medical treatment are fair, reasonable, and causally connected to the subject motor vehicle collision. These experts will also testify that the injuries sustained by Plaintiff as a result of the motor vehicle collision are permanent, and that due to the nature of the injuries sustained by Plaintiff as a result of the motor vehicle collision, future expenses, treatment, and surgical procedures, including related therapy and rehabilitation, may be reasonably expected to occur.
These experts may further opine that Plaintiff’s pre-existing condition was aggravated/exacerbated by the motor vehicle collision.  These causation opinions will be based on the date of motor vehicle collision, the fact that Plaintiff received medical and ambulatory treatment immediately following the motor vehicle collision, the fact that she needed follow-up appointments and care because of the motor vehicle collision, and based further on the change, for the worse, in Plaintiff’s medical condition and the severity of her treatment, injuries, and physical limitations following the motor vehicle collision as compared to prior to the motor vehicle collision, in that Plaintiff received additional care and treatment and new types of care and treatment following the motor vehicle collision and the health and condition of her injured body parts deteriorated following the motor vehicle collision.
These experts will further testify that Plaintiff’s injuries comport with the mechanics of the incident as described by Plaintiff, namely a rear-end collision, based on the nature of the injury, Plaintiff’s testimony regarding the incident, and the correlating injury related symptoms following the incident. These experts may further testify regarding the condition and health of the Plaintiff before the subject occurrence, and her baseline health in the injured body parts before the happening of the occurrence.  Plaintiff reserves the right to use anatomical models, demonstrative medical illustrations, medical diagrams, and demonstrative video imaging of Plaintiff's injuries and any surgeries or procedures following the motor vehicle collision. This evidence would be introduced through expert testimony to assist the finder of fact in understanding the expert’s opinions.  Any expert’s opinion will be based upon review of the medical records, relevant deposition transcripts, treatment and examination of Plaintiff, the history taken from Plaintiff, additional records or testimony describing Plaintiff’s physical limitations, medical literature, and years of experience and medical training. Plaintiff incorporates all of the medical records as though fully set forth herein.
