Our Medical Expert Witness Process

With extensive experience in the legal and medical fields, our team has a deep understanding of the related processes and timeline requirements. We connect clients with pre-vetted medical experts and a dedicated point of contact, so each case progresses smoothly.

  • Define the Scope of Work: Comprised of highly experienced paralegals, our case management team listens and acts on client needs. They help you identify the best medical expert candidate in the right clinical focus area and request all medical records related to the case.
  • Deliver the Right Expert: Case managers handle all details of securing the best medical expert witness for a case, including providing resumes and fee schedules and verifying the availability of the selected expert based on case timetables and deadlines.
  • Develop Index of Records: Once the medical expert is engaged, we index all medical records, paving the way for our chronology team to provide a detailed guide in which all supporting information is identified by volume and page number.
  • Dedicated Case Managers: Our experienced paralegal case managers ensure all deadlines are met and play a crucial role in facilitating engagement and ongoing communication between attorneys and experts. They coordinate medical exams, depositions, trial appearances, and other important activities.

Our Medical Expert Witness Services

  • Medical Expert Sourcing

    Medical Expert Sourcing

    Our invitation-only panel has 600+ licensed, board-certified, or board-eligible medical experts covering 220+ different adult and pediatric specialties, including multiple subspecialties of orthopedic surgery. Each independent expert is fully vetted by licensing boards and certifying entities on a frequent basis. Most have active practices.

    This ever-expanding panel is augmented by the vast IMS network built from 30+ years of curated relationships with experts across the country. Our experienced paralegals work with attorneys and experts to coordinate important activities and meet deadlines.

  • Life Care Planning

    Life Care Plans & Rebuttals

    Our certified life care planners use their deep understanding of the medical, legal, and rehabilitation fields to provide expert testimony in personal injury, medical malpractice, and other disputes involving catastrophic injuries or long-term disabilities. We understand this information is critical to financial planning and estimating monetary damages associated with long-term care, in-home care and related improvements, assisted living, and other necessary services.

  • Medical Billing & Coding Analysis

    Medical Billing & Coding Analysis

    Our medical billing and coding analysis experts use current geographic-specific data from nationally recognized sources to analyze the reasonableness and necessity of treatment charges. Our credentialed specialists have years of billing, coding, and auditing experience. When necessary, they can provide affidavits or cost reports to support or controvert usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) medical charges.

  • Radiology Reviews

    Radiology Reviews

    Our radiology experts are certified by the American Board of Radiology and are experienced in various subspecialty fields, including diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, musculoskeletal radiology, and neuroradiology. We provide a strong foundation for expert witness testimony in the review of medical imaging technology evidence (x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound) with knowledgeable, credible, and qualified radiologists.

  • Medical Records Review & Independent Medical Examinations

    Medical Examinations

    In addition to reviewing medical records, we can facilitate an independent medical examination (IME) for clients with the help of our approved medical experts. An IME is a medical examination performed by a healthcare professional who does not have a prior treatment relationship with the patient. IMEs are requested and utilized by insurance companies and lawyers for injury claims to evaluate an individual's condition, diagnosis, and potential future medical treatment.

    Our objective is to offer quality, timely, unbiased evaluations so clients can make necessary decisions related to their claims.

It’s nice to have all of this expertise available from one firm. Working with IMS is efficient and convenient.
