We serve law firms throughout the country, and support the families they represent.
Partial or Complete Autopsies
We offer partial or complete autopsies to families, and the law firms that represent them. An autopsy can be a crucial tool in many forms of litigation including wrongful death, medical malpractice, toxic torts, and personal injury cases. Our staff works with the family to schedule the autopsy so as not to interfere with funeral arrangements, and we have a detailed final autopsy report available within 45 days complete with microscopic examination and explanation in lay terms. Our staff includes board certified Forensic Pathologists who are experienced with civil and criminal law.
Partial Autopsy Options:
Cardiovascular Autopsy
If the main concern surrounds the heart and lungs, then this may be an appropriate option.
Single Organ Autopsy
