Medical Negligence Expert Assessments

Independent assessments and expert reports that establish the extent of injury and its consequences in medical negligence matters.

Medical negligence matters call for careful, objective medical evidence. We provide access to suitably qualified medical experts who independently assess the claimant and prepare comprehensive medico-legal reports for court proceedings.

Their reports assist in establishing the nature and extent of the injuries sustained, the resulting impact on the claimant's quality of life, and the damages arising from the negligence alleged.

What we provide

  1. 01

    Independent expert assessments

    Assessments by the medical specialists and allied professionals relevant to the matter.

  2. 02

    Review of hospital and treatment records

    A medical overview of the records that informs which experts are needed and what they should address.

  3. 03

    Comprehensive medico-legal reports

    Objective, evidence-based reports prepared for litigation and court proceedings.

  4. 04

    Expert testimony

    Where a matter proceeds to trial, our panel of experts is available to testify in support of their findings.

What the reports address

  • The nature and extent of the injuries sustained
  • Functional limitations and prognosis
  • The impact on the claimant's quality of life and ability to work
  • Future treatment and care requirements
  • The damages arising from the injury

One coordinated process

Negligence matters often need several disciplines. Instead of approaching multiple expert rooms, attorneys can arrange every assessment through us. We obtain, review and quality-assure each report, then deliver a consolidated package of all expert opinions together.
