The Importance of Medical Expert Witnesses in Your Personal Injury Case
Having a medical expert witness testify on your behalf at trial could make all the difference in the outcome of your case. The jury needs to be able to trust the evidence presented to them. Healthcare providers are trusted caregivers who may be considered experts in their field. For instance, if you suffered catastrophic injuries due to a mistake made by your surgeon, the testimony and experience of an expert surgeon, surgical nurse practitioner, or other relevant healthcare provider can help show the jury the seriousness of the medical mistake and that the defendant is liable for your pain and suffering and other damages. Medical expert witnesses may even be required as part of your personal injury lawsuit as described under Rule 702. Testimony by Experts by the MN Court Rules and Wisconsin Legislature: 907.02 tort laws in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, respectively.
Furthermore, expert medical witnesses can help show that you are not embellishing the extent of your injuries. It is not unusual for insurance companies to attempt to take advantage of injury victims and offer substantially less compensation, but when expert medical witnesses testify, the jury can see more clearly how severely you have been affected and may continue to be impacted by the injuries you sustained.
