I'm a pediatrician, and I've been asked to be an expert witness. What is the going rate for this kind of work?

I don't think there is a pay scale for a so called expert witness.

9.00 - 25.00\nit all depends on talent There are some assistants I wouldn't pay more that $9.00 for they are a liability to the practice.  Some staff take on more duties not because they are asked but because they Identify the need. Just because and assitant is making 18.00 per hour does not mean every assistant should.  Some assistants I don't want anywhere near a phone, or dealing with a stubborn patient, or even a screaming child.  They lack the instinct?\n\nYou don't know where you will be until you try.

In Texas, the going rate would be about $10-15/hour depending on the subject, level of difficulty, and amount of work required. \n\nTrue, if you have a specialized degree you may certainly charge more like $20-30/hour

the thing is as a Life Agent they insurance companies that I work for would want to know why you are covering your children for $500,000.00 now you could pull a policy on yourself with no issue and that $11,000.00 you are looking at paying would be better for you you would be paying way over the needed amount to cover your children with compounded interest and everything if you are looking at pulling this type of policy I would love to help you with it I do not work for NY life but would be able to give you pointers as well as maybe show you a few other companies depending on the state that you live in that would maybe be better back to covering the children I know that all the companies I work for would wonder why you would insure your child for more then $200,000.00 without good reason IM me and I will see what I can do my IM is rahnside\nA Life Insurance Specialist\nRahn Sidebotham II

Hi,\n\n  First, try to get a sense of what is fair for an experienced  professional.  You may even do a quick google search and find some and ask for an estimate.\n\n  As a rule of thumb, I would think $10-$15 bucks/hr seems at the absolute high end.  When you are first starting out, the experience you get is extremely valuable, and if they wanted to pay $40+ bucks per hour, they would have hired some one with an established business.  \n\n    I would also recommend that you set up the amount immediately!  You are just setting yourself (and your brother) up for problems if you do not get things set straight and ensure every one has the same expectations.  Finally, you definitely want to have a "reference account" so if you give your first customer a good deal, they are more likely to ask for repeat business, recommend you to another company, or provide a reference.  All of these are far more valuable than squeezing a few extra bucks from your first professional gig.\n\nGood Luck,

Well, I think that you should definitely charge to for schools or parties. A rasonable rate is 50 dollars for an hour, especially since he'll have to wear that suit, and it does get warm and uncomfortable. I think at that rate you will also make enough to purchase some nice gifts for each other, and your kids/family if you have them. I think, however, to give back to the community, after he does his rounds where is is making money, he should visit the sick kids ward at the local hospital to spread some happiness to kids in need. It will make you and him feel good, but also will bring Christmas cheer to the kids.

I am a paramedic and have to deal with Malpractice lawsuits from patients on a regular basis.  This is not due to a lack of patient care on my part, but more that the individual is looking to make a quick buck.  The health care system is here to help and I promise you that the medical professionals that work in the system are not making a fraction of what your insurance pays.  The small private clinics, like the one you went to, are a gray area.  You should talk with the Podiatrist and share your concerns with them and find out why he provided you with the care that they did.  If in the long run, you decide to sue, make sure the money your asking for is appropriate and dont pull that "mental anguish" crap.  Medical professionals are only human and cannot be expected to be perfect.

Depends on the specialty. But pediatricians actually make the LEAST amount out of any specialty.\n\nThink ~$80k, compare that to an orthopedic surgeon who can make $300k starting.

You need to know everthing about their child(ren) such as medical history, who are the emergency contacts, etc.  Make sure that your responsibilities are clear cut and understood by both you and them.  It wouldn't hurt to get everything in writing. Make sure you understand what things are off limits to you and the child.  Pay seems good, congratulations.

I don't know where you're living, but I used to charge $60 / hour. I had a friend who charged around $90. From what I've seen $60 - $120 / hour are within industry standards. You don't want to gouge people, but I think $30 an hour is too low, especially for jobs that involve travel. If you put a high value on your work, others will, too. If you put a low value on your work, others will, too.\n\n[edit: I would have charged about $150 for a 2.5 hour job. My friend would have charged about $225. He used to scold me for charging too little! Of course, this was in central New Jersey, near Princeton, which is a pretty heavy populated, well-off area. I never had any complaints about my rates being unreasonable. If I remember correctly, some of the franchise repair businesses, like Geeks on Call, charge up to $120 an hour. Seriously, I would recommend raising your rates to $45 or $60. If it doesn't work out, you can always lower them again. Best of luck to you!]

It varies by state.\n\nThe cost will vary for each jurisdiction. Estimated costs for first-time candidates applying to take all four sections will be approximately $575-$800.

i imagine you would have to know a lot about handi work, such as painting and decorating, fixing broken things such as tables, chairs (woodwork)  if there is a short/weekly course at your local community/college centre on multi skilled trades, id take it to get the know how.  They will also do a criminal record bureau check with you, after all you are working with vunerable people/kids.  They will mention at the interview whether the costs are covered for this, its used to be 30 pound..in 1999. but it may of gone up.

Depends on where you live.  Between $10-$20 per hour.  If you are certified and how much experience you have will also depend on it.  If you are not certified go to NDEITA.com and find where they are nearest to you to attend the workshop.  Good luck!

You have to fill out some applications. Just look it up on the internet because the procedure is different place to place. There may be a fee but its not alot. I would guess, about 100$.
