Medico-Legal Services
What are Medico-Legal Services?
Medico-legal work sits at the intersection of medicine and law. It involves the assessment and reporting on injuries, conditions, or disabilities from a specialist medical perspective, for use in legal proceedings, insurance claims, or dispute resolution. A medico-legal opinion from a qualified neurosurgeon can play a decisive role in personal injury cases, medical negligence matters, and disability or insurance assessments.
Who should contact us?
- Attorneys and law firms handling personal injury, road accident fund (RAF), or medical negligence claims
- Insurance companies requiring specialist assessment for disability or liability claims
- Corporate clients and employers in occupational health or workplace injury matters
- Patients referred by their legal representative for an independent neurosurgical evaluation
