Abstract: 
There are special circumstances, named by the jurisprudence, when experts can be refused as prejudiced and there is a civil law concerning the liability of medical experts in cases where an incorrect expert opinion was presented. Additionally, every physician working as an expert has to achieve personal requirements, such as strict neutrality and objectiveness. This includes an appropriate appearance in court, but also personal liability insurance and an expert opinion written or presented understandable also for prosecutors, lawers and judges.
