Dan has been at the forefront in the use of highly specialized experts such as placental pathologists, pediatric neuroradiologists, and neonatologists to illustrate negligence in obstetrical malpractice cases; human factors engineers and biomechanics to demonstrate defective product designs; and physiatrists, vocational rehabilitation specialists, and economists to calculate and illustrate the full extent of economic and non-economic losses caused by a catastrophic injury.
