Medicolegal Examination

You will be seen by the Medical Expert, in privacy, where you will be able to fully discuss your injuries, both physical and psychological.

Please feel free to make notes and bring them with you.

You will normally be examined. This usually only involves removal of outdoor clothing, however a chaperonage is available if you would feel more comfortable.

The Doctor will make electronic notes of the consultation and examination, and this will be the basis for writing the medical report.

After you have been seen, the report will be completed, normally within 24 hours and sent to your solicitor soon after this. There maybe a delay in compiling your report, for example, if the Medical Expert feels it is necessary to review your medical notes before completing the report. Be assured that your report will be completed as soon as possible.

Your solicitor or insurance company will use the report to negotiate compensation on your behalf.

If the medical expert recommends any treatment, for example physiotherapy or psychological counselling, you will be contacted about this separately after your appointment.
