surgery An expert witness, professional witness or judicial expert is a witness, who by virtue of education, training, skill, or experience, is believed to have expertise and specialised knowledge in a particular subject beyond that of the average person, sufficient that others may officially and legally rely upon the witness's specialized (scientific, technical or other) opinion about an evidence or fact issue within the scope of his expertise.

Medical malpractice is the negligence of a healthcare provider that causes an injury to a patient.

Without an injury, medical negligence is not an actionable cause of action.
