Doctors Hutchinson and Leffingwell are board-certified specialists who
offer consultation in Environmental and Occupational Medicine and Medical
Toxicology, the specialties that determine medical-legal causation. We have
found that attorneys often need the type of expertise and service we offer,
but find it difficult to locate qualified physicians experienced in toxicology,
epidemiology, and the effects of hazards like chemicals, microbes, and
radiation. Dr. Hutchinson and Dr. Leffingwell's occupational and
environmental medicine core skills, clinical medicine experience, and
medical toxicology and epidemiology backgrounds enable them to assess
causation more effectively than specialists who treat specific diseases.
