Empowering Medical Providers: Breaking the Cycle of Expert Witness Exploitation in Personal Injury Lawsuits

Access to justice and/or an attorney is a huge barrier for nearly every person who finds themselves facing legal issues. That's true, even for injured victims who were hurt by no fault of their own. The victims did not choose to be hurt, and most often, when the victim reaches out to the person they trust the most for their health, the medical providers, the medical providers shut the door in their face. The medical providers don't see the repercussions. Their doors are shut. But I do, as a caring, compassionate advocate. So I'm here to empower you all to never shut the door on an injured patient out of fear of litigation, and certainly not out of fear of not getting fairly compensated for your valuable time. I'm here to give you knowledge, and therefore power, to use against any attorney who uses their subpoena power to force you into court, and then attempts to say "you're testifying as a fact-witness." Fact-witnesses get $40 for the entire day. Expert witnesses, i.e., treating medical providers, charge between $400 and $600 per hour when called to testify in litigation. I want to make sure our medical providers are recognized and fairly valued in our society.
