View ProfileNeurology Expert Witness Consulting
General neurology cases span the most heavily litigated conditions in medicine — TBI, stroke, seizures, spinal cord injury, and neuromuscular disease — and they frequently turn on causation: distinguishing injury-related deficits from pre-existing or unrelated disease. The objective evidence (imaging, EEG, neuropsychological testing, electrodiagnostics) is central.
Our neurologists maintain active clinical practice and are matched to the subspecialty relevant to the case. They provide rigorous standard-of-care and causation analysis supported by imaging, testing, treatment-window analysis, and published outcome data.
Practice Areas
Our Neurology specialists provide expert testimony across these core practice areas.
TBI & Concussion
Traumatic brain injury assessment, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) evaluation, and post-concussive syndrome standard of care analysis.
Stroke & Cerebrovascular
Acute stroke management, thrombolytic therapy decisions, posterior circulation stroke diagnosis, and delayed presentation claims.
Spinal Cord Injury
Acute and chronic spinal cord injury management, surgical timing decisions, and rehabilitation standard of care.
Seizure Disorders
Epilepsy diagnosis and management, seizure classification, antiepileptic drug selection, and status epilepticus standard of care.
Neuromuscular Disease
Diagnosis of myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, ALS, and other neuromuscular conditions with focus on diagnostic delay.
Chronic Pain & Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy diagnosis, chronic pain management standards, and medication management in complex cases.
Neurology Cases We Handle
Attorneys retain our neurology experts for matters including:
- Traumatic brain injury and post-concussive syndrome — acute management and causation
- Stroke and cerebrovascular disease, including delayed diagnosis and treatment
- Seizure disorders and status epilepticus
- Spinal cord injury evaluation and management
- Neuromuscular disease and diagnostic delay (myasthenia gravis, ALS, neuropathy)
- Chronic pain, neuropathy, and medication management
- Missed CNS infection and other neurologic emergencies
Questions Our Neurology Experts Answer
Representative questions a neurology expert can address on standard of care and causation:
Did the neurologic workup and management meet the standard of care for this presentation?
Are the claimed deficits caused by the injury at issue, or by pre-existing or alternative conditions?
Was a time-critical neurologic diagnosis (stroke, status epilepticus, meningitis) recognized and treated in time?
Do the imaging, EEG, and neuropsychological findings support the alleged injury and its severity?
More likely than not, would appropriate care have changed the neurologic outcome?
Daubert & Admissibility Considerations
We align the neurologist’s subspecialty to the specific issue (vascular, epilepsy, neuromuscular, TBI), which supports admissibility by ensuring the opinion rests on the relevant body of expertise.
Causation opinions are anchored in objective testing and treatment-window analysis rather than symptom report alone, supporting reliability under Daubert and Frye.
What to Expect When You Retain an Expert
Our process is built for litigation timelines — from conflict check to trial testimony.
1. Conflict check and intake
Send us the parties, the venue, and a short summary of the neurology issue. We run a conflict check across our experts and confirm we can take the matter for your side, typically the same business day.
2. Expert match and fee schedule
We identify the board-certified neurology expert whose subspecialty and active practice align with the specific clinical question, and provide that expert's CV and fee schedule — usually within one business day of a cleared conflict check.
3. Records review and preliminary merit assessment
The expert reviews the medical records, imaging, and relevant literature and gives you a candid preliminary read on standard of care and causation before you commit to a full written report. Expedited screening is available for discovery, deposition, and trial deadlines.
4. Written report and opinions
When the matter warrants it, the expert produces a signed report (or affidavit/declaration where required) setting out the standard of care, each identified deviation, and the causation analysis, supported by the records and published authority.
5. Deposition and trial testimony
The same expert is available for deposition and trial, with preparation sessions to ensure the opinions are communicated clearly and survive cross-examination and Daubert/Frye scrutiny.
