Being an expert witness in a case which started as a WC case & you were the impartial physician

Find out under what circumstances you can appear as an expert witness on a case in which you conducted an impartial exam for the Department of Indsutrial Accidents. (DIA)

Check with us first

If you think there may be a conflict, contact the Impartial Unit. They will look up the case.

It would be inappropriate for you to testify if the case is not resolved at the DIA, or if an appeal is before our Reviewing Board. Otherwise, you may testify as an expert witness.

Were an attorney to use a subpoena to obtain your expert testimony without professional reimbursement for your time, kindly let us know, and we will intervene.
