Compelling the Testimony of a Vocational Rehabilitation Expert in Maryland?
Our medical malpractice lawyers received an interesting motion to compel from a doctor in an OB/GYN case in Maryland a few weeks ago. Defendant's medical malpractice lawyer is asking the court to compel a 2 hour interview from Plaintiff with Defendant's vocational rehabilitation expert, arguing that that because Plaintiff's vocational rehabilitation expert interviewed the Plaintiff, the Defendant is being put at a disadvantage by not being able to ask his own questions.
But Plaintiff has already been deposed. If the Defendant's medical malpractice lawyer wanted to learn more about the Plaintiff's disability - he had virtually no questions or her disability, by the way - why didn't he ask those questions in deposition?
You can find our attorneys'response to the Defendant's motion here in the event that you are ever faced with a similar issue.
