Hiring Expert Witnesses

An expert witness is someone that has gained knowledge in a particular area through their education, training, and or on the job experience.  In almost every personal injury case, expert witnesses are absolutely necessary to prove a claim.  For example, in a Florida medical malpractice case, Florida law requires you have an independent expert witness willing to swear under oath that a doctor, hospital or nurse was negligent and the negligence caused injury. In a Florida car accident case, Florida law requires you have an expert witness testify your injuries are permanent to receive compensation for pain and suffering damages.  Although not required, in wrongful death cases, wage loss cases, and large medical damage cases, we often hire an economist to testify to the financial costs created by the wrongdoer’s negligence.

We recognize you cannot afford the cost of paying for these experts.  Therefore we advance all the costs of paying for them when they are necessary.  If we obtain a recovery on your behalf we collect our costs from the recovery.  If not then you do not have to pay us back.
