Doctors called out for being biased, faulty or careless expert witnesses in court are being hired by insurance companies looking to deny injury claims for people hurt in car crashes.

Medical experts have a duty to help the court by offering independent, objective and unbiased evidence in cases where opposing sides often clash on what the facts are.

Despite that, doctors and other health professionals who are called out for shoddy testimony face no consequences and there's nothing stopping them from appearing in court again, according to accident victim advocate Rhona DesRoches.
