A client engaged IMS Legal Strategies to secure a seasoned sports medicine expert witness with extensive experience in evaluating injuries and reviewing medical records in connection with a personal injury lawsuit.
The Case Challenge
The defense was seeking clarity on the plaintiff’s alleged injuries to his left knee and shoulder due to a slip and fall in a shower stall. This required an expert to evaluate the claimed injuries and determine potential damages. Specifically, our client sought a sports medicine expert who was a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, preferably based in Texas, with a track record of compelling testimony in legal proceedings.
The Expert Solution
Understanding the unique nature of each personal injury case and our clients' diverse goals, IMS’s case intake team identified several qualified medical experts from our pre-vetted panel. After further refinements based on geographical proximity and testimony history, our team selected three top candidates and presented their comprehensive CVs and fee schedules to our client for review.
The client chose a sports medicine specialist, board-certified and trained in orthopedic surgery with more than two decades of clinical experience. The expert performed joint replacements and arthroscopic procedures and had provided extensive testimony in depositions and trials, as well as performing independent medical records reviews.
The Outcome
Due to the expert’s thorough review of medical records and deposition testimony, the case was successfully negotiated and settled before reaching the trial stage.
