Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Insurance Disputes

Q: EXPERT WITNESSES: Why do we need expert witnesses in our case?

A: The law requires that medical malpractice cases be proven by expert testimony.  There are a few exceptions, such as when instruments are left in the body.  In malpractice cases we must prove what the "standard of care" required your doctor to do and we must prove that he did not comply with the standard of care.  What the law says is that since the "standard of care" is not something that a typical layperson knows, we must prove this by expert witnesses.

Testimonials

• Congratulations on having been selected by your peers for inclusion in the 2011 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®
  
• This is our first experience meeting with a lawyer. Surprisingly, our meeting with Ben went so well. It was very informative and educational.
• We were deeply touched by your kindness.
• I contacted Attorney Ben Glass's office and franticly spoke to his assistant Terry. We had a little more than two weeks to challenge my LTD provider's threat to offset my LTD disability payments by the amount of a recent settlement I had received on a Worker's Compensation claim - the claim was settled outside of the Worker's Compensation system.
• I want to thank you and your staff for all your hard work in 2009. I greatly appreciate your efforts on my wife's disability appeal. Your staff worked hard, is very talented and your ethical approach was readily apparent.
