Diaphragm disorders are conditions that affect the structure or function of the diaphragm, the muscle separating the chest from the abdomen that plays an important role in breathing. These conditions can include paralysis, weakness and structural abnormalities.
Cases involving diaphragmatic conditions can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to diagnosis, investigations, respiratory function, nerve injury, surgical procedures, causation and subsequent outcomes.
Our diaphragm disorders expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, imaging, respiratory investigations and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
