Medicolegal Case Review & Expert Opinion
Clear, practical medical insight that legal, clinical, and industry teams can rely on.
I provide independent medicolegal case review and expert opinion in emergency medicine, with particular expertise in cardiovascular emergencies, ECG interpretation, and time-sensitive clinical decision-making.
This work is intended for attorneys and legal teams seeking clinically grounded, defensible analysis rooted in contemporary emergency medicine practice and accepted standards of care.
Scope of Work
Medicolegal services may include:
Independent review of emergency department cases
Analysis of diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision-making
Evaluation of care involving cardiovascular emergencies and ECG interpretation
Written expert opinions and reports
Peer review and case screening
Deposition and trial testimony, when appropriate
Each engagement is defined by a specific scope and confirmed in writing prior to proceeding.
Areas of Focus
My medicolegal work most commonly involves cases related to:
Acute coronary syndromes and missed ischemia
Arrhythmias and ECG interpretation errors
Pulmonary embolism and thromboembolic disease
Aortic pathology
Decompensated heart failure
Cardiac arrest and post-resuscitation care
Diagnostic delay or failure in high-risk emergency presentations
This list is not exhaustive and does not guarantee availability for all case types.
Approach to Case Review
Case review is conducted with emphasis on:
Clinical realism in the emergency department setting
Standards of care as they existed at the time of the event
Documentation, decision points, and available data
Time pressure, uncertainty, and operational constraints
Clear articulation of assumptions and reasoning
Opinions are formed independently and are not contingent on case outcome or party position.
Engagement Process
Medicolegal inquiries follow a structured process:
Submission of an initial case inquiry
Conflict and scope screening
Confirmation of availability and engagement terms
Case review and deliverables
Follow-up discussion, if appropriate
Not all inquiries result in acceptance of a case.
Medicolegal services are non-clinical and do not involve patient care
No physician-patient relationship is established
Initial review does not create an attorney-client relationship or expert engagement
Engagements proceed only after conflict screening and written agreement
I reserve the right to decline cases based on scope, conflict, or fit
