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.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
