Before disclosing an Expert Witness, it can be helpful to discuss the case with a medicolegal specialist in the field. Retaining Dr. Singla early enables the attorney to learn the results of her assessment and findings to better guide strategy.
Dr. Singla has opined as a medicolegal consultant to attorneys for over 6 years. As an objective evaluator, Dr. Singla believes both Plaintiff and Defense benefit from a better understanding of what’s at stake before going to trial.
As a consultant, she shares her assessment with the retaining attorney, as well as evaluation of the reports from other expert witnesses in her field who have been retained by either party.
Dr. Singla consults about legal questions related to causation, injuries and treatment affecting:
- Spine, including nerve damage and lower back pain
- Back
- Neck, including whiplash
- Knees
- Joints, soft tissue and bone injuries and conditions
