A forensic physician, on your side of the record.

Fifteen years spent turning medicine into evidence that courts, regulators, and legislatures rely on. That is the work Dr. Junqueira now brings to U.S. litigation.

Dr. Mario Junqueira
Dr. Mario Junqueira, MD · Founder, PericialMed

Who he is

Dr. Mario Junqueira is a physician specialized in forensic medicine and medical expertise, board-certified in the field, and the founder of PericialMed. Over more than 15 years he has delivered over 1,000 expert medical-legal analyses across civil, criminal, and administrative matters.

Forensic medicine is not a clinical sideline for him. It is the entire discipline: examining persons, records, and evidence, and producing the independent, impartial opinions that decide legal questions. The defining duty of the role is impartiality, and it is the standard he holds whether an engagement is consulting or supporting testimony.

Why it matters to your case

He has served as an internal-affairs officer and an elected councilor of a federal medical board, adjudicating physicians' professional conduct, and has led the regional chapter of his specialty's national association. He has sat in judgment of medical practice, written the standards others apply, and built the reports that withstand challenge. That is the judgment he brings to the medicine in your file.

Endowed with public faith and impartiality.
A Superior Court of Justice, on Dr. Junqueira's expert reports

His medical-legal work has been relied upon at the highest levels of the courts and the regulatory system. The record below reflects a 15-year international career and the kind of impact his analysis produces.

Federal court
A technical report he authored became the evidentiary basis for a federal court order with nationwide effect, and for a national regulatory overhaul affecting an entire profession.
Legislation
His expert testimony contributed to a national disability-rights statute, later upheld on constitutional review.
Cited by name
His expert reports were cited by name in published appellate decisions, and his articles were cited as authoritative by judges who located them on their own.
National standard
Selected as one of the national reviewers of a standard for bodily-harm assessment now referenced in more than a thousand judicial decisions.
In the media
National media coverage has followed cases built on his analysis.

He brings this experience to U.S. litigation from Philadelphia, where he earned a Master in Law in Health Law and Patient-Safety Policy from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, training focused on how American courts use medical evidence. A medical-legal report he authored was used in a U.S. federal administrative proceeding against a hospital, which resulted in a settlement.

To be clear about scope: Dr. Junqueira is not a U.S.-licensed physician and is not an attorney. PericialMed USA engages as a medical-legal consulting expert. Where a case requires a testifying expert licensed in your jurisdiction, the practice identifies, vets, and briefs that specialist and builds the medical foundation their opinion rests on.
