Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
A medico-legal report could be used in any legal matter where expert medical witness evidence is required to prove or disprove some aspect of the case.
In a civil claim for damages the claimant has to prove their case in each and every respect. As far as their injuries are concerned, they need evidence from a suitably qualified and experienced medical expert witness.
The expert’s evidence must support their claim by evidencing the injury sustained, that it was caused by the incident complained of and the extent and duration of the symptoms caused. If a full recovery has not yet taken place, the expert can also offer their opinion on the prognosis for recovery. They may also recommend further medical investigations or treatment. These would normally be undertaken privately rather than through the NHS, but would be intended to be complementary to any ongoing NHS care.
This is a report written by a doctor in the role of a medical expert witness in a legal case in civil law claims for damages for victims of personal injury, disease or medical negligence.
MACS Clinic provides expert Senior Consultants to prepare the report considering their specialism, location and experience so they can best aid the litigation process.
All of the medical reports we supply meet the requirements of the Civil Procedure Rules, when applicable.
