Spine Injury & Post-Traumatic Pain Expert Witness
In motor vehicle and premises injury cases, interventional pain treatment is often a large part of the claimed damages. Dr. Urits evaluates whether the diagnoses are supported, whether the treatment was reasonable and necessary, and what future care is likely to be needed and what it will cost.
Common issues
• Facet-mediated, discogenic, and sacroiliac joint pain, and radiculopathy, after trauma
• Reasonableness of medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, and regenerative treatments such as PRP
• Pre-existing degenerative findings versus acute injury
• How often, and for how long, future procedures will be needed, and their cost
