Expert Witness Services Case Studies

Assignment :
We were retained by twenty two insurance companies to review thousands of transactions, read and analyze numerous agreements to determine whether a medical practice was “truly owned” by the doctor named on the certificate of incorporation. Our analysis of the financial transactions resulted in the necessity to reconstruct the books and records of the medical practice, allowing us to apply benchmarking statistics.

Result :
In a landmark unanimous jury verdict, we were able to successfully assert the “Corporate Practice of Medicine Prohibition” principles in demonstrating that the medial practice was owned and controlled by the non-physicians. Our expert witness testimony covered the movement of funds between bank accounts, as well as the reasonableness of the transactions within the context of the agreements entered into between the parties. The verdict delivered by the jury relieved our clients of several thousand pending individual no-fault lawsuits totaling more than $20 million.
