Orthopedic surgeon expert witnesses are called upon to provide independent medical exams (IME), testimony and guidance for attorneys or insurance companies involved in litigation of musculoskeletal medical issues.

As the scope of orthopedic procedures expands, the likelihood of complaints also grows. The corresponding demand for forensic orthopedics specialists will also expand to help in determining if there is a basis for damages. Musculoskeletal injuries are varied, as are the causes of these injuries. Orthopedic surgeons routinely treat injuries from car accidents, sports and workplace events, and even simple falls. Treatments for orthopedic injuries vary, starting from physiotherapy to surgery. When recovery isn't needless to say, legal actions may result. Attorneys representing the patient and therefore the physician may have to consult an independent orthopedic expert to help in developing their cases.

Workplace accidents resulting in a disability also require medical experts to determine the extent of an injury, possible treatments, and the expected long-term effects of the injury. Disputes arise, for example, when workers' compensation coverage is denied or when treatments deemed necessary by the patient's physician are not approved. An outside opinion by an orthopedic expert is often sought to help resolve disputes.s

In automobile accidents, neck and back injuries are often difficult to diagnose and treat effectively. Action to recover damages from another driver will almost certainly end in disputes over the severity, or maybe the existence of neck and back injuries. Expert witnesses can, and sometimes do make the difference between winning or losing accident injury cases.

Attorneys and insurance companies are generally aware of the need for orthopedic surgery expert witnesses in any action involving musculoskeletal injuries. Forensic Group representatives help attorneys, insurance companies and other parties identify the best expert witnesses for their needs.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
