Surgical Expert Witness for Workplace Injuries

What is a Surgical Expert Witness?

 

A surgical expert witness is a licensed medical professional who provides expert testimony, case evaluations, and medical opinions related to injuries requiring surgical intervention. In workplace injury cases, this testimony is crucial in determining:

• The nature and severity of the injury

• Whether surgery was medically necessary

• If proper surgical procedures were followed

• Potential long-term effects and recovery expectations

• Workplace conditions contributing to the injury

As an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Romanelli offers objective and unbiased medical insights, helping attorneys, insurers, and employers navigate the complexities of workplace injury cases.
