Frequently asked questions

What does a hand surgery expert witness do?

A hand surgery expert witness is a orthopedic surgery subspecialist who reviews records and testifies on hand and upper extremity repair and reconstruction. Their fellowship training carries particular weight when the disputed care falls inside this subspecialty.

Do I need a hand surgery subspecialist, or is a general orthopedic surgery expert enough?

When the care at issue was delivered by (or should have involved) a subspecialist, courts and opposing counsel expect a matching subspecialist. For general orthopedic surgery questions, a board-certified orthopedic surgery expert may suffice — we help you make that call at no charge.

How much does a hand surgery expert witness cost?

Subspecialists typically price at or slightly above general orthopedic surgery rates. Every Retain expert publishes a full fee schedule before you commit.
