Pediatrics Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts pediatrics expert witness services.

How do pediatric medication errors occur?

Reliable Clinical Experts pediatricians testify that children require weight-based dosing creating calculation error opportunities. Tenfold dosing errors are common (10mg instead of 1mg) and can cause severe toxicity or death in children. Our experts evaluate whether dosing calculations were correct, dose verification protocols were followed, and monitoring for adverse effects was adequate.

What developmental screening should pediatricians perform?

Reliable Clinical Experts pediatric experts testify that AAP guidelines require standardized developmental screening at 9, 18, and 24-30 month well-child visits, plus autism-specific screening at 18 and 24 months. Failure to screen, recognize delays, or refer for early intervention significantly impacts long-term outcomes — early therapies are most effective during critical developmental windows, and delays constitute malpractice.
