Personal Injury Medical Experts
In any personal injury case, proving the full extent of your injuries is essential to securing fair compensation. While photographs, witness statements, and accident reports provide important context, nothing carries more weight than testimony from medical records and experts. Learn more about personal injury medical experts.
These professionals play a critical role in linking your injuries directly to the incident, projecting long-term impacts, and explaining your treatment plan in a way that judges and juries can understand.
At Jassim Law, a leading San Diego personal injury firm, we understand how crucial medical expert testimony is in maximizing the value of your claim. With over 22 years of experience representing injury victims, Attorney Pajman Jassim and his team work with top-tier medical experts to build a compelling, evidence-based case on your behalf.
Why Medical Experts Are Vital in Personal Injury Cases
When you file a personal injury claim—whether due to a car accident, slip and fall, or another act of negligence—it is your responsibility to prove that the defendant’s actions directly caused your injuries. It is also the plaintiff’s burden to prove the full extent of your injuries.
Insurance companies and defense attorneys often try to downplay your injuries or argue that they were pre-existing, non-existing, or merely not very serious. This is where a medical expert becomes indispensable.
- Establishing Causation
One of the main tasks of a medical expert is to show that your injuries were caused by the specific incident in question. They can differentiate between pre-existing conditions and new trauma, using diagnostic tools, medical records, and their clinical expertise.
Further, to actually use medical records at trial medical experts, i.e., your doctors, must testify that the records are accurate and reliable to be admissible at trial. Records alone will not be admitted as evidence without proper authentication.
- Explaining Injury Severity
Medical jargon can be confusing to juries and insurance adjusters. Experts translate complex diagnoses into clear, understandable terms, helping everyone involved in the case appreciate the seriousness of your condition.
Further, even obvious and serious injuries are not very compelling and fail to tell the whole story without testimony of medical professionals. As the saying goes, a “picture is worth a thousand words.” Similarly, the words on paper need to be explained in detail, as well as the way your injuries could affect your life.
- Detailing Treatment and Prognosis
In many cases, your treatment will extend far beyond the date of the accident. Medical experts can forecast future medical costs, rehabilitation needs, and the impact your injuries will have on your daily life—essential details when calculating damages.
Additionally, if you require a medical procedure or surgery, it is important that the medical doctor (expert) explain in detail to the jury why the procedure was reasonable and necessary, and to educate and explain to the jury what the procedure entailed, the risks, the recovery, and the treatment that is still required.
- Supporting Claims for Pain and Suffering
Beyond physical injuries, many personal injury victims suffer emotionally and psychologically. A qualified medical expert can help validate claims for pain, suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
For example, many people suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after a traumatic accident. While we colloquially use the term “PTSD” in every day life, in fact PTSD is a clinical diagnosis.
Further, medical experts can testify that an injured person commonly suffers from mental suffering, emotional distress, and other non-economic harms.
