The healthcare industry has been under intense stress and scrutiny through the COVID-19 pandemic. As coronavirus has spread through the country, hospitals have been inundated and healthcare professionals have put in tremendous effort to combat the novel virus. But medical treatment throughout a public health crisis is not without allegations of liability and negligence. As you prepare a medical malpractice or other related COVID-19 care case, it will be important to consult with a health care expert witness who can speak to the professional medical aspects of your case.
A health care expert witness can discuss:
Changes to hospital and care protocols brought on by COVID-19
Technical explanation of coronavirus and how it spreads
Implications of over-capacity facilities
Challenges related to supply shortages (ventilators, masks, gloves, gowns)
State-specific liability immunity for healthcare providers and facilities
Pandemic planning and contagion training
