Our medico-legal service is primarily provided to Legal Practitioners and Insurance Companies.
WRITTEN OPINIONS
At Medicolegal Express, our medico-legal services include the provision of written specialist opinions where a detailed review of medical files (but no claimant assessment or physical examination) is required.
This service includes a thorough review of provided medical records and is followed by the preparation of a detailed report and summary. The length and structure of the report is tailored to the requirements of the referring source.
CASE EVALUATIONS
At Medicolegal Express, we appreciate that most people do not possess expertise in both law and medicine. As such, the key features of a complicated medical case, especially in the fields of neurology and neurosurgery, can be easily obscured by irrelevant details.
As highly proficient medical specialists we are well-placed to review and evaluate specific case material, and assess the relative merits of a potential claim.
Our case evaluation process involves a comprehensive analysis of the circumstances, a thorough appraisal of the issues relevant to the claim, and the identification of potential defendants. This information, along with any responses to specific client questions, is then presented in a concise report in a timely manner.
If requested, a preliminary verbal report may be obtained. The requesting party can then determine whether a written report is required.
WITNESS SERVICES
At Medicolegal Express, our qualified specialists are available to appear in Court for the purposes of providing an expert opinion.
This may be where an assessment has previously been carried out and a report supplied, or alternatively where an expert opinion only is required.
