Defense Medical Examination’s (DME)

Defense Medical Examinations (DMEs) play a critical role in criminal cases involving injuries, but without proper oversight, the findings can be skewed or misinterpreted. Having a forensic trial nurse present at your client’s DME ensures the process is conducted fairly and that the medical evidence gathered is accurate and reliable.

A forensic trial nurse attending your client’s DME can:

Monitor the examination to ensure that proper protocols are followed and that your client’s rights are respected.

Document the exam process, providing an objective record of what occurred, including any irregularities or potential biases by the examining physician.

Interpret medical procedures and findings, ensuring that any results from the exam are accurately understood and appropriately applied to your case.

Provide expert testimony if necessary, addressing any discrepancies or inaccuracies in the defense medical examination report.

Advocate for your client, ensuring that the examination is thorough and fair while preventing the manipulation of medical evidence.

Having a forensic trial nurse present at your client’s DME strengthens your defense, ensuring that medical evidence is evaluated and collected with integrity. Protect your client’s rights and safeguard the outcome of their case with the expert guidance of a forensic trial nurse.
