At Cardinal LifeCare Consulting, our team of medical professionals is dedicated to providing legal teams and their clients with comprehensive, objective life care consulting and related services. A life care expert witness provides an outside professional perspective to support a case throughout settlement negotiations or trial. This testimony serves to demonstrate the extent of a patient’s current and future medical needs, the costs associated with meeting these needs, and the overall impact on the patient’s life, for both plaintiff and defense teams.
How a Life Care Expert Witness Can Help Your Case
Life care witnesses bring a unique perspective due to their hands-on experience and comprehensive understanding of patient care, instilling additional credibility and valuable insight for the case at hand.
Impact on Legal Cases
The testimony of a life care witness can significantly influence the outcome of a legal case. For plaintiffs, a detailed life care plan can help to demonstrate the extent of their injuries and the ongoing care they will require, potentially leading to higher compensation. For defendants, an objective life care plan can provide a clear picture of the plaintiff’s needs, helping to counter exaggerated claims and ensure a fair settlement.
This expert’s contributions can be invaluable in numerous types of litigation, including:
- Medical malpractice: The life care expert witness communicates whether the standard of care was met and identifies any deviations that may have led to patient harm.
- Personal injury: Our medical professionals speak to the extent of injuries, the necessary medical treatments, and the long-term impact on the individual’s health and quality of life.
