Autopsy and Pathology Services
Autopsies often reveal issues that were not suspected during life and provide the ultimate evaluation of the quality of medical care.
Private Autopsy & Pathology
Our main goal is to provide a valuable service to the bereaved families. Our autopsy reports provide a detailed insight into the cause of death and contributing factors.
The most important result of the autopsy and anatomical pathology review is closure and peace of mind. In some cases, the autopsy findings provide solid evidence for legal proceedings.
Contact us and provide a brief description of your case. A telephone consultation will be necessary to determine if we can provide assistance. If you decide that our expertise and resources might benefit your case, we will discuss costs involved and schedule the autopsy.
Medical Expert Witness
Our anatomic pathologists provide independent and unbiased opinion, which may assist lawyers in medical malpractice and wrongful death cases, and are available to testify as expert witness in court.
LabFlorida PAG has developed a reputation in Florida courts and we have provided valuable support for many law firms.
Autopsy reports and pathology expert testimony is always a critical part of any suit.
Each case is meticulously documented with test results, microscopic reviews and autopsy photos. Collected specimens are stored for any additional research for the duration of the litigation.
-
General Autopsy
Required for majority of cases and includes organ and specimen procurement. Further specialized testing can be done on retained specimens later.
-
Limited Autopsy
Examination focused on a specified area or organ, e.g brain, is sometimes sufficient for clinically well documented and undisputable cases.
-
Exhumation Autopsy
May be required if an autopsy had not been conducted and there are unanswered questions.
-
Histology
The study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues done by a pathologist, aka "micro", is always included in all of our evaluations and reports.

DNA Banking & Paternity Analysis
With recent advances in genetics the data obtained during an autopsy evaluation could be very valuable for the family.
-
Toxicology Studies
Most evaluations can be done without toxicology lab work (which is expensive, and often inconclusive). In some cases, however, these tests are required.
-
Asbestos & Mesothelioma
We provide conclusive evidence on all cancers related to exposure to any known toxic and life-threatening materials.
How families benefit from the autopsy
For families, the autopsy has both tangible and psychological benefits. Uncertainty regarding the cause of an individual's death can delay payment of insurance benefits, or execution of the will.
- Knowing the specific cause of death may ease the stress of the unknown, resolve complicated issues surrounding the death, and be comforting to the family and friends.
- Discovering inherited, familial or infectious diseases may help through early diagnosis and treatment, and in family planning.
- Uncovering evidence of a work-related disease might lead to compensation for the family.
- Providing crucial information for the settling of insurance claims or death benefits may result in better benefits for the family.
- Finding that diagnosis and treatment was appropriate or inappropriate, which may help clear legal disputes.
