Abstract:
Evaluation of dizziness in patients who are involved in litigation can deviate significantly from the evaluation of patients who have no ongoing litigation. This article presents the basic principles of the physician's role in the evaluation of litigating patients. Considerations for physical examination, diagnostic testing, and review of medical records are discussed. Topics of malingering and legal "pearls" are presented in the context of providing an objective and unbiased evaluation of the litigating patient.
