Deposition-Ready Physicians in the Bronx

What Makes a Physician "Deposition-Ready"

A deposition-ready physician doesn't just know the medicine — they know how to defend it under adversarial questioning. MAIC's physicians understand: how to state opinions to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, how to differentiate between acute traumatic findings and pre-existing degenerative changes, how to explain causation in lay terms without weakening the opinion, how to handle hypothetical questions designed to undermine their conclusions, and how to reference specific clinical findings rather than general impressions.

This experience matters because defense attorneys are skilled at leading physicians into admissions that undermine the case. A physician who says "I can't rule out that this could be degenerative" in deposition hands the defense a soundbite. A physician who says "The MRI demonstrates a focal disc extrusion at C5-C6 with an annular tear, which is morphologically consistent with acute traumatic herniation rather than degenerative disc disease" closes that door.
