Dr. Jason Sebesto

Dr. Sebesto is a board-certified neurologist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) who provides expert witness services exclusively for traumatic brain injury cases. He serves attorneys in personal injury litigation and has extensive experience with disability case reviews. Dr. Sebesto trained in neurology at Mayo Clinic and has devoted his career to TBI evaluation. His practice focuses solely on brain injury—he does not maintain a general neurology caseload. This singular focus means he stays current on evolving diagnostic criteria, emerging research, and the specific challenges of proving brain injury in litigation. He has reviewed over 200 cases in his career.

Methodology That Withstands Scrutiny

Dr. Sebesto applies multiple evidence-based diagnostic frameworks to ensure comprehensive, defensible conclusions. His primary methodology utilizes the ACRM 2023 diagnostic criteria—the most current consensus framework for TBI classification—supplemented by concordance analysis across the CDC Surveillance Case Definition, VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines, Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) Amsterdam criteria, and ACS TQIP standards. When multiple independent classification systems reach the same diagnostic conclusion, that convergence creates a powerful foundation for expert testimony. He utilizes Bradford Hill causation analysis to establish the connection between the traumatic event and the patient's neurological deficits—evaluating dose-response relationships, temporal sequence, biological plausibility, and consistency with established medical literature. This systematic approach to causation provides a clear, logical framework that holds up under cross-examination. Dr. Sebesto conducts thorough analysis of all available medical records, diagnostic imaging, neuropsychological evaluations, and treating physician documentation. He identifies findings that support or refute TBI diagnosis, reconciles conflicting information across providers, and explains how objective data in the record correlates with the reported mechanism of injury. Every opinion is grounded in peer-reviewed literature and current clinical standards. Dr. Sebesto is prepared to explain and defend his methodology, cite supporting research, and address alternative explanations raised by opposing experts.

Reports Built for Litigation

Dr. Sebesto produces comprehensive, highly detailed reports that correlate objective findings with mechanism of injury, clinical presentation, and functional impairment. His reports are written with the understanding that opposing counsel will scrutinize every sentence. He documents not only what he found, but why it matters and how it connects to the index event. Services include independent medical evaluations, records-only case review, rebuttal reports, case merit review and strategic consultation. Deposition and Testimony Dr. Sebesto has completed advanced training in expert witness testimony and deposition techniques. He has provided deposition testimony in personal injury and disability matters, and is experienced in translating complex neurological concepts into clear, persuasive language accessible to legal audiences. He offers flexible scheduling for depositions, available both in-person and via video. Pre-deposition attorney consultations are standard—thorough preparation produces better outcomes.
