Expert Witnesses & Forensic Consultants Directory
Spinal Cord Injury Medicine
Spinal Cord Injury Medicine expert witnesses provide testimony on issues related to damage caused to the vertebrae, ligaments or disks of the spinal column or to the spinal cord itself.
The Spinal Cord experts listed in this directory may opine on injury causation and complications of spinal cord injuries, including issues of malpractice. Most of these injuries are caused by auto and motorcycle accidents and falls by the elderly, although a significant portion of injuries are caused by gunshot and knife wounds, impact sports and recreation (eg: diving in shallow water) and diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis. Experts may also provide opinions on contributing factors, such as alcohol use and risky behavior.
Medical malpractice matters involving spinal cord injuries include claims of misdiagnoses during emergency care (eg: failure to properly immobilize a patient’s head or neck), standards of care, negligence, failure to diagnose, failure to detect spinal tumors, errors made during surgeries, delayed surgical procedures and anesthesia errors.
