Autopsy & Forensic Pathology Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts autopsy & forensic pathology expert witness services.

Can a forensic pathologist disagree with an official autopsy report?

Yes. Forensic pathologists can provide independent reviews of autopsy reports and may reach different conclusions based on their interpretation of the findings, additional testing, or consideration of clinical history. These differing opinions are common in litigation and help juries understand medical uncertainty.

What is the difference between cause and manner of death?

Cause of death is the medical condition that led to death (e.g., myocardial infarction, gunshot wound). Manner of death is a legal classification of how the death occurred: natural, accident, suicide, homicide, or undetermined. Both can be disputed in litigation.
