Expert Witnesses

Post by Kristins Mom »

Our attorney is now looking for expert witnesses for our case against the doctor that caused our daughters injury. Has anyone already gone through this procedure and are willing to discuss what expert witnesses were used?

This is an important step in your case. We had some great expert witnesses. Ours came from New York, New Jersey and Washington DC. You usually cannot get experts from around your doctors area to testify against a doctor...we won our case due a lot to our witnesses. They are usually expensive also...

Please don't take offense to this but I am concerned that your attorney doesn't already know who to call to be an expert witness... this is a red flashing warning light to me. Haven't they done any other bpi cases? And if they haven't - then I'd rethink the concept. These cases are hard to win and I, personally, wouldn't take a chance with too much of a learning curve.
Respectfully,

Francine,
I had a hard time finding an attorney in our area that would take our case. We were turned down by two previously. We are in Georgia, south of Atlanta. We finally got representation in April of 99. We had to pay for so called expert's to review the case before they took it, this was in December of 98. Do you know of other attorney's in our area that are experienced in BPI cases.

Depositions have already been taken. Any suggestions?
