A proven record of verdicts and settlements
The complexity of medical malpractice cases often requires utilizing expert witness testimony. Expert witnesses are vital resources that play a crucial role in offering supporting evidence of medical negligence. A Portland medical malpractice lawyer at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC will engage every source of support in your case to prove that medical malpractice is the cause of your injuries and damages.
Expert witnesses are educators, offering experience in a particular field to assist a judge, jury, and attorneys in recognizing the impact of medical decisions and interventions or the lack of action in the injuries to a patient. Expert witnesses explain complex medical terms understandably, allowing a judge and jury to more easily digest the facts of a case and determine the role of an individual or business in causing injury.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
When necessary, our team utilizes expert witnesses with relevant qualifications to provide complete and unbiased testimony to support medical malpractice cases. Their knowledge of specific medical standards of care also allows our attorneys to focus questions and arguments better, bypassing unnecessary information that does not benefit your case. Our in-depth knowledge of laws applying to medical malpractice, in conjunction with expert witness testimony, allows us to provide effective advocacy for clients in Washington and Oregon medical malpractice cases.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
Medical experts may offer convincing evidence of whether a breach in the standard of care resulted in your damages. Through persuasive testimony, an expert witness may prove the link between a practitioner’s negligence and your injuries. In doing so, our team of experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Portland will demand the case results that support your recovery and damages compensation. A comprehensive review of your total damages and evidence supporting your claim allows us to seek maximum compensation.
Expert witness testimony may also support a breach in the standard of care practices in a medical facility’s policies and procedures. They may also provide evidence that supports a lack of quality assurance by agencies such as urgent care facilities, medical practices, hospitals, and insurance companies. Medical malpractice cases may extend beyond an immediate physician’s care, demanding accountability from the facilities and organizations involved in your medical care.
Expert witness testimony may also be crucial in defining negligence in a medical malpractice case. Our firm works tirelessly to demonstrate acts of ordinary negligence vs. gross negligence and their impact on you. Using the facts in a case, we will strive to impress the significance of gross negligence on your damages and awarding of potential punitive damages (ORS §31.730) by a jury.
