Use of Expert Testimony in Medical Malpractice Cases

To prove a medical malpractice case, you must establish what a reasonable doctor should do to treat your medical condition and that your doctor was negligent by not following appropriate medical protocol for your condition.

The only way to prove what a reasonable doctor should do in the same situation is through the testimony of a highly qualified expert in that particular medical field. These experts usually come from well-regarded medical schools like Duke, Harvard, Emory, and Johns Hopkins and are expensive.

The  jury is usually has to decide which expert is more credible in his or her explanation regarding whether the medical professional or physician being sued was negligent and committed malpractice.

Even after proving that the doctor or medical professional was negligent, a plaintiff must prove damages in the form of lost earning potential and future medical costs. To prove these damages, the plaintiff likely will need testimony from a vocational expert, economist, and a person specializing in developing life care plans.
