Medico-Legal Assessments and Reports
 
 
In order to strengthen the case they are making for their clients, lawyers will often instruct us to prepare a report. Generally this involves our mental health expert seeing the client for a clinical assessment and then writing an impartial report.  On some occasions reports have been prepared to give a professional opinion based on documents available to the Court.

As a guide, here are some areas where our reports could prove helpful to your case. The list is not exhaustive so please contact us to discuss your needs.

Insurance compensation - e.g. nightmares, panic, anxiety, depression, or head injury following a road traffic collision or accident at work
