Medication error expert witnesses

Physicians in internal medicine, anesthesiology, and pain management for prescribing, dosing, interaction, and monitoring failures across every care setting.

Medication cases span the full chain: the prescribing decision, dose calculation, pharmacy dispensing, administration, and the monitoring that should catch toxicity before harm. The right expert depends on where the chain broke.

Retain provides prescribers who speak to standard of care in ordering and monitoring, anticoagulation, opioids, insulin, chemotherapy dosing, and psychotropics generate the most litigation, and specialists who address causation once the error reached the patient.

Typical engagements include warfarin and DOAC bleeds, opioid oversedation and respiratory arrest, insulin errors, serotonin syndrome and interaction injuries, and renal-dosing failures.
