Description
Cross-examining a defense medical examiner (DME) is often the highest hurdle to clear in a personal injury trial. Cross-examining a DME requires preparation, attention to detail, and focus on the expert’s key vulnerabilities.
Still, even with ample preparation, too many cases fall with the DME cross-examination. These “hired gun” professionals are often pedigreed, persuasive, and compelling to jurors. We know what their motives are—but how do you expose them?
Patrick Malone, co-creator of the revolutionary Rules of the Road™ technique and author of The Fearless Cross-Examiner, brings a special 60-minute educational video to the Trial Guides video catalog. Cross-examine the next DME you face with confidence using time-tested strategies designed for the defense’s toughest expert witnesses. With the right approach, you’ll effectively counter their opinions, probe their weaknesses, and polarize their testimony to discredit them in the eyes of jurors.
This 60-minute cross-examination on demand will cover:
- Cross-examination preparation
- How to scour the public record for a witness’s vulnerabilities
- Analyzing and focusing your cross technique
- Finding “Rules of the Road” that expose the witness
- The hypocrisy rule
- Polarizing the witness
- Linking the DME’s financial compensation to bias
The “old rules” of cross don’t work on professional witnesses. Take this opportunity to prepare yourself so you never miss a chance to make a DME cross-examination work in your favor.

Reinforced attacking DME

Begin conducting background
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Begin conducting background research on the expert at least 30 days before their deposition or trial testimony. Analyze and focus the information gathered into a few categories for cross examination. Never fight the expert on the medicine, fight the expert on the specific facts and medical treatment for your case. Contrast the expert's opinions with the opinions of the treating doctors."
Using the rule of completeness
"What were your key takeaways from the program? Using rule of completeness and FRE 803 to get in some great hearsay statements from your client. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? The intro was a lot of retread information, so that wasn't as valuable, but I didn't mind it."
The jury needs to see you
"What were your key takeaways from the program? The jury needs to see you as an honest guide and a seeker of truth. That cannot change when you’re cross-examining; you can’t get sneaky and tricky. You have to project that you are a seeker of truth. Self-confident, while persistent, humble and sincere. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? Doing background research on the doctor"
