forensiceducator.comForensic pathology is not about the dead. It is medicine for the law.
Forensic pathology is a recognized subspecialty of medicine. Forensic pathologists are physicians: after medical school they complete residency training in pathology and fellowship training in forensic pathology, and earn board certification by examination. They apply that specialized medical knowledge and skill to help solve legal problems, whether the person at the center of the question has died or is living.
- The living. Injuries in a child alleged to have been abused; strangulation of a survivor; the age and mechanism of a fracture; the pattern of injuries in a family-law dispute.
- The dead. The cause and manner of death; the timing and mechanism of injury; the identity of the deceased; the significance of disease, drugs and medical care.
- The law. Every opinion is formed to the standard of evidence a court requires, documented so another qualified expert can test it, and explained plainly to judges and juries.
How NAAG prices its work.
- Flat, and quoted first. Almost every NAAG service is a flat rate, quoted in writing before any work begins.
- All-inclusive. A flat rate covers all professional, paraprofessional and administrative time. No separate charges for file handling, records review, correspondence or case management.
- Guaranteed. Rates in force when a matter opens are guaranteed for that matter, whenever the work is performed.
- No penalty fees. No cancellation, rescheduling, late-release or standby fees. Ever.
- Expenses at cost. Travel and out-of-pocket expenses are passed through at cost, without markup or surcharge.
- Fee schedules on request. Current fee schedules are provided directly to agencies, counsel and families. Ask, and we will send the one that governs your matter.
