Medical-Legal Consultation
Forensic pathologists are often called upon to provide their expertise in medical-legal matters such as giving their opinion on cause and manner of death and also for their interpretation of medical records, injuries and injury patterns. Medical-legal consultations could be for cases involving either living or deceased individuals. District attorney offices, public defenders’ offices, private attorneys, law enforcement agencies and victim’s families are just some of the entities that could benefit from the services of a forensic pathologist for consultations. A consultation could vary from a simple review of an injury to complete review of a case to include autopsy reports, autopsy photographs, law enforcement reports, medical records and scene/investigation photographs. After review of the necessary information and documents, a detailed report of the findings is often generated. The forensic pathologist would also be available for expert court testimony in the cases they review.
