When the stakes are high in a legal case involving prison time and/or large sums of money, it is important to have an expert to support your position.
There often is only one chance to do it correctly, and having expertise that is able to be presented clearly and simply while being dependable is paramount.
When it comes to complex situations involving neurosurgery, only the best experts who are well-versed in clinical practice, the standard of care, and medical literature can simplify and explain the matters to nonmedical personnel, such as judges and juries.

A neurosurgeon is trained in the neurosciences, neurology, general medicine, general surgery, and, most importantly, neurosurgery.
Neurosurgeons care for problems with the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves, and the job of a neurosurgeon often entails taking trauma calls and treating injuries in an emergency situation.
Motor vehicle collisions, spinal cord, and brain injuries, and falls are some of the frequent injuries seen in the emergency setting, and having a neurosurgeon who frequently engages in the treatment of neurosurgical trauma and neurocritical care allows for that experience and knowledge gained from such to be applied as a medical expert witness.
Dr. Birinyi frequently treats all of these injuries and thus is able to understand the mechanisms of injuries, their immediate and long-term impacts, and their acute and chronic treatments.
He also understands how such injuries and the treatment of them integrate with the non-neurosurgical injuries and health problems that patients have and the treatment that is needed for these.
In addition, as a surgeon who operates frequently, Dr. Birinyi can provide expert testimony regarding operative techniques, postoperative healing, and long-term medical needs following procedures.
When it comes to high-stakes cases involving trauma causing a brain or spinal cord injury with lifelong and disabling consequences, Performance Spine and Brain is here for all of your expert witness testimony needs.
As an expert medical witness in neurosurgery, Dr. Birinyi provides a variety of services, including medical records reviews, expert reports, trial testimony, and working with legal teams to develop a legal strategy.
In essence, Dr. Birinyi is an expert, consultant, and ally.
He understands his role in legal matters and keeps an open dialogue with his clients to ensure that a high level of service is provided.
He is comfortable with medical malpractice cases, criminal cases, wrongful death, and all aspects of neurosurgical trauma and injuries.
As an expert and to maintain the highest level of credibility and integrity, Dr. Birinyi relies on his firsthand knowledge of neurosurgery, his extensive training, the medical literature, the knowledge of his colleagues, and the established standard of care to provide an expert opinion and guidance.
Sometimes, the expert opinion is not the one desired by Dr. Birinyi’s clients, but it is important that an objective assessment of every situation takes place.
Legal teams often need to know where a case may be weak or where facts do not necessarily support a desired conclusion.
This is where an ethical expert witness is important so that only the highest quality of information is provided and is defensible in any legal setting.
Once such an opinion is rendered by Dr. Birinyi, he will steadfastly defend his position and the way it was derived.
That opinion and the associated facts then must be presented to nonmedical individuals like jurors as, without an understanding of the situation, it is impossible for individuals to take appropriate actions and rule based on the expert opinion.
The medical expert witness process begins by contacting Performance Spine and Brain.
Our experienced staff can guide you through this process, help you obtain and provide us with medical records, and get an understanding of what is requested in the case evaluation and medical record review.
