Urgent Care Expert Witness
Urgent Care Medicine involves services which are required for an illness or injury that would not result in further disability or death if not treated immediately but requires attention to avoid the potential for further injury to the patient.
It differs from family medicine mainly due to the fact that patients usually do not know the physician or physician assistant treating them; there are no pre-scheduled appointments and any necessary follow up is usually with the family physician or physician assistant.
The unfamiliarity of this practice situation and the provider can lead to a potential claim of medical malpractice or medical negligence resulting in involvement of the legal system and the need for a physician assistant medical expert witness.
Utilizing the services of a physician assistant with urgent care experience as well as experience as an expert witness can provide counsel with case merit evaluation, creating targeted discovery and the recommendation of areas where additional experts may be needed.
