American Medical Forensic Specialists (AMFS) is known for our comprehensive medical expert witness network that encompasses more than 200 specialties across the entire United States. But did you know that we offer free case consultations with an AMFS Physician Medical Director? This completely free service gives you the opportunity to have medical-legal experts review your case to help determine if there is validity, without obligating yourself to using any of our other services. This service can benefit both medical malpractice and personal injury cases, however we’re going to focus on malpractice specifically in this article. Here’s what you can expect.
During your consultation, you’ll speak directly with one of our Medical Directors to assess the situation from a physician’s perspective and discern if there was potentially malpractice. This means reviewing the highlights of the case to answer the following questions:
Our Medical Directors will then help you determine what type of medical expert witness will be the best fit for your case and assess if your case requires testimony from experts in multiple medical fields. Typically, cases need an expert that closely matches the credentials of the defense or plaintiff but sometimes an additional, specialized witness is needed to provide further context and a better understanding of the damages incurred. For example, a general practitioner missed the diagnosis of a cancerous tumor. An oncologist may be needed to testify to the patient’s outlook as result of the delayed diagnosis.
Ultimately, the decision on whether or not a case is worth pursuing is up to you, but with the insights gained during one of our free consultations you’ll be better informed to make that decision. Then, if you choose to proceed with your case, AMFS can help match you with the right medical expert witnesses and streamline the scheduling and billing process associated with that witness.
