EMS Standard of Care Expert Witness

As a retired Assistant Fire Chief and paramedic with more than 30 years in the fire service and 25 years in emergency medical services, I provide objective expert witness services in cases involving alleged departures from accepted EMS standards of care. My opinions are based on clinical practice, nationally recognized standards, applicable state protocols, agency policies, and the facts of each case.

Each case is evaluated to determine whether EMS personnel:

• Performed an appropriate patient assessment 
• Recognized life-threatening conditions 
• Followed accepted EMS protocols 
• Made appropriate treatment decisions 
• Communicated effectively with receiving facilities 
• Documented care accurately 
• Exercised appropriate clinical judgment 
• Acted consistently with accepted EMS practice
