Forensic Accounting in Medical Negligence Claims

Forensic accounting in medical negligence claims involves investigating financial records to determine the economic impact of alleged malpractice. When patients claim they’ve been harmed due to a healthcare provider's actions, forensic accountants analyze costs such as medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term care needs. They translate complex financial data into clear evidence that supports the case. This discipline helps establish how much compensation a patient may be entitled to, ensuring that the financial consequences of negligence are accurately assessed and justified in legal proceedings.
