The best in medicine to assist the legal community
The right medical expert witness can make all the difference in medical malpractice, birth injury, nursing home negligence, personal injury, and other types of cases. In an adversarial system, attorneys need to be confident that their experts are highly qualified and prepared to offer compelling testimony. Our job is to make sure you have the right expert for your case.
For over 38 years, Rieback Medical-Legal Consultants has been helping some of America’s top attorneys find the medical experts they need. Here’s what you need to know about the expert witnesses we provide.
We have highly qualified physicians in every medical specialty
Our experts span all medical specialties, including niche sub-specialties that can be quite difficult to find. It’s not just that we have an expert in every field of medicine, though; our experts have impeccable credentials and are well-regarded in their fields. They are the same doctors we would see ourselves if we had a medical issue.
Our experts proudly work with both plaintiff and defense attorneys
In medical malpractice cases, there are many doctors who are willing to testify for the defense, but will not testify against a fellow physician, especially in niche specialties where the community is small. This is obviously a problem for plaintiff’s lawyers, but it’s also a problem for defendants: if opposing counsel points out that your expert only ever testifies for the defense, that may make the expert look biased and undermine their credibility in the eyes of the jury.
Our experts are proud to testify on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants. For us, it’s all about truth and accountability, not allegiance to one side or the other. We also believe this helps our experts’ credibility, no matter which side they testify for in any given case.
Our experts have significant experience as witnesses
Some highly qualified experts on paper don’t make great witnesses in practice. The vast majority of our medical experts have testified in depositions and at trial before. They understand how the process works, and they have proven time and again that they will give compelling, credible testimony.
On the rare occasion that an attorney needs an expert with specific credentials or a niche specialty who has less experience as a witness, we are happy to provide expert witness training as well.
Our experts are available to review cases quickly
We understand the urgency of deadlines in the legal process, and we’ve heard many times from an attorney who was referred a case right before the statute of limitations expired. Our experts are available for thorough and timely case reviews. Our average turnaround time is one to four weeks, but in emergency situations, we can turn around an evaluation within 24 hours of receiving the medical records.
