Frequently asked questions

What does a spine surgery expert witness do?

A spine surgery expert witness is a orthopedic surgery subspecialist who reviews records and testifies on spinal fusion, decompression, and instrumentation outcomes. Their fellowship training carries particular weight when the disputed care falls inside this subspecialty.

Do I need a spine 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 spine 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.
