Medico-Legal Reports
Medico-legal reports are evaluations written by medical professionals and used in legal cases when medical knowledge is needed. They’re often required when you claim for personal injury or medical negligence.
Dr Hatchuel is here to help you win the best possible outcome for your case, supporting you with professionalism and diplomacy throughout the whole process.
What’s in the report?
The report usually includes the circumstances of your medical condition, medical history, details about your treatment plan, and the doctor’s opinion on your progress. Legal firms and solicitors will use this evaluation to support your case in court or other legal situations.
Dr Hatchuel’s expert opinion will support your claim in describing the illness or injury, explaining how it was caused by the incident/circumstances complained of, and being clear about the extent and duration of the symptoms. He may also recommend other medical treatments or research.
