Police Brutality Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts police brutality expert witness services.

What is positional asphyxia?

Reliable Clinical Experts medical experts testify that positional asphyxia occurs when body position restricts breathing — most commonly during prone restraint with weight on the back. Death can occur within minutes. Our experts evaluate whether restraint techniques contributed to asphyxia, whether officers should have recognized respiratory distress signs, and whether prone positioning should have been terminated earlier.

How do medical experts evaluate Taser injuries?

Reliable Clinical Experts trauma physicians testify that Taser injuries include skin burns at probe sites, but more significant injuries occur including cardiac arrhythmias, fall-related traumatic brain injuries, and rhabdomyolysis. Our experts evaluate whether Taser use was medically appropriate given the subject's condition (excited delirium, cardiac history) and whether post-deployment medical care was adequate.
