Deposing and Examining Doctors, by Kim Patrick Hart, is a 2 volume guide published by James Publishing. The set gives attorneys clear cut advice, techniques, and tools for effectively deposing even the toughest medical specialists.
The set is broken down into 8 medical specialties:
Chiropractors
Neurologists
Orthopedists
Neurosurgeons
Physiatrists
Neuropsychologists
Dentists and oral surgeons
Plastic surgeons
Each chapter has pattern questions, outlines, and samples of redirect examinations. Especially helpful is a separate chapter of color illustrations of common injuries and conditions in each field of specialty. The illustrations are usable for exhibits and are included in a CD along with the forms for each chapter.
The next time you are preparing to take medical testimony consider checking this valuable guide for a quick refresher before starting your depositions.
This week we updated our website with new colors, photos, and a new home page design. Read on for an overview of what's new - and what has stayed the same.
Our new home page features a search box that provides direct access to our index of over 400 legal topics. Simply start typing a few keywords and see a list of matching topics appear. Click on the topic to jump straight to that legal topic page or click the search button to search our entire website. Watch the video below for a demonstration.
New and returning visitors can also use the home page to access our most popular services. The research links you need most - like links to cases, statutes, and the administrative code - are also included for fast access. Check our home page regularly for our latest news stories and featured services.
All pages on our website are designed for use on a wide variety of devices and browsers. This means that you can use our website just as well on your phone as on your desktop computer. Even though we've made our website more flexible, returning visitors can rely on the same organization of our website's pages. In fact, the only change we've made to our website menus is the addition of a new page under the Search category: a research guide to Wisconsin Court Records.
