Find a OB/GYN Expert →Overview
Obstetrics and gynecology is one of the most heavily litigated medical specialties. Birth injury cases involving cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy represent some of the highest-value medical malpractice claims in the legal system. OB/GYN experts evaluate fetal monitoring interpretation, delivery decision-making, surgical technique, and whether timely intervention could have prevented injury. Gynecological cases often involve delayed cancer diagnosis and surgical complications.

FAQ
OB/GYN experts are needed in birth injury cases involving cerebral palsy or brachial plexus injuries, delayed cesarean section claims, fetal monitoring disputes, gynecological cancer misdiagnosis, and surgical complications from procedures such as hysterectomy or laparoscopic surgery.
An OB/GYN expert should be board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, maintain active clinical practice including deliveries, and have expertise in fetal monitoring interpretation. For high-risk pregnancy cases, maternal-fetal medicine subspecialty certification is preferred.
OB/GYN expert witness fees range from $500 to $1,200 per hour for case review. Maternal-fetal medicine specialists and experts in high-value birth injury cases may charge premium rates due to the complexity and stakes of these cases.
