Expert witnesses are always required in medical malpractice cases – you will need an opinion from an expert witness to 1) establish the standard of care and whether the standard of care was breached – before you can file a lawsuit, and 2) to establish damages – how you were injured, the extent of the injuries, the costs involved, and the effect that the injuries will have on you and your family.nnYour medical malpractice attorney on the Axelrod team has access to a wide range of medical experts who can assist in any area of medical expertise based on the facts of your case.
