How to obtain medical expert opinions for a medical negligence case?

I need help with a few questions regarding obtaining a medical expert opinion for a NCDRC case. What specific questions should I ask medical experts? Is it sufficient to receive responses via email based only on my surgery video, or do the responses need to be in a specific format, especially considering they will be presented in court? Given that the doctor I am challenging is one of India’s top orthopedic surgeons, and many other doctors may be hesitant to provide an expert opinion, what should I do if no one is willing to give an opinion? How can I find medical experts who have previously given opinions in orthopedic cases and understand the outcomes of those cases? Additionally, can you provide names and contacts of lawyers who have won medical negligence cases in the past, particularly those who take up cases on a contingency basis?

Sir, for a medical expert opinion in a NCDRC case, asks about standard care, potential negligence, and whether the surgery deviated from medical norms. Ensure responses are formal, signed, and acknowledge they will be presented in court. If doctors are unwilling due to the surgeon's reputation, seek experts from academic institutions or medical boards. Consult a lawyer experienced in medical negligence to find experts, gather evidence, and guide you through the case. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
