Who we are
OrthoLegal was founded by Orthopaedic Surgeon and QME Alexis E. Dixon, MD. The aim is to provide services to facilitate medicolegal practices for Orthopaedic Surgeons in California. A busy Orthopaedic practice does not allow for the time and effort needed to comply with the state-enforced requirements for work as a QME. Nevertheless, there is a significant need for QMEs in California to help settle disputes between injured workers and their employers, including cases involving the Subsequent Injury Benefits Trust Fund.
The vast majority of work-related injuries in California involve the musculoskeletal system. OrthoLegal are the experts on musculoskeletal evaluations, including General Orthopaedics, Spine, and Hand.
