Sports injuries can occur during professional or recreational activities and may involve muscles, joints, ligaments, or nerves. These injuries can range from minor strains to complex conditions that affect long-term performance and daily function.
In medicolegal cases, accurate medical evaluation is essential to assess the extent of injury and its impact. Dr. Kavita Poply provides professional expert witness services for sports injuries, delivering clear, structured, and evidence-based reports for legal proceedings.
