About Us
Kalivar represents a new concept in medical-legal consulting.
Kalivar was founded by two physicians and a lawyer who believe that the medical legal
industry deserves an upgrade.
The current state of affairs:
- Not infrequently doctors are unjustly accused of negligence. At the same time,
malpractice victims do not always receive the compensation they deserve.
- Many doctors are reluctant to serve as an expert witness and do not have time for
extensive reviews of medical records. Choosing sides in a dispute between a patient
and a peer may be uncomfortable, especially when doctors be deposed or required to
provide testimony.
- The few doctors who serve as expert witnesses often charge high fees to attorneys for
an initial opinion. As a result, many attorneys, whether they are representing the
plaintiff or the defendant, tend to rely on the opinion of a single expert as the
foundation for their case. When that single initial opinion is questionable, significant
funds are incurred unnecessarily in legal cases that should never have been initiated,
or that instead should have settled immediately.
There is a better way.
We have created an on-line community where doctors can provide anonymous opinions on
medical cases, and have the opportunity to be retained as an expert.
Kalivar allows doctors to provide unbiased opinions, as we do not disclose their identity, and
we are unaware of whether an opinion is being requested by a defendant or a plaintiff. With
only a short event summary to read, busy clinicians can find a few minutes during their day to
leave a comment in our social media-like platform (and potentially be compensated for their
time!).
Kalivar allows attorneys to obtain diverse opinions from different experts across multiple
specialties, for very limited costs. Attorneys will have greater insight into a case before
embarking on a long and expensive process that may be unnecessary to begin with.
We hope that you will help us improve the medical-legal industry and join the Kalivar
community.
Thank you for your help!
