Neurology experts address cases involving disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. They are among the most frequently retained medical experts due to the prevalence of traumatic brain injury litigation in personal injury, the complexity of stroke misdiagnosis claims, and the high damages associated with permanent neurological impairment. These experts evaluate causation, standard of care, and the extent of neurological injury.

FAQ
A neurology expert should be board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, maintain active clinical practice, and ideally hold subspecialty certification in the relevant area such as vascular neurology, clinical neurophysiology, or epilepsy.
Neurology experts are needed in traumatic brain injury cases, stroke misdiagnosis claims, seizure-related injuries, multiple sclerosis and neurodegenerative disease litigation, and any case where the nature or extent of neurological damage is at issue.
In general, medical expert fees are determined by the expert themselves, based on a variety of criteria. Among those criteria are clinical experience, forensic experience, academic qualifications such as Fellowships, clinical settings, and publications. Vident does have some influence over expert fees by comparing experts within a specialty, but ultimately it is a personal decision by the expert.
