Medico Legal Reports
What is a medico legal report?
A medico-legal report, from all disciplines including provision for physio, is a document prepared by a medical professional that provides an expert opinion on medical matters in the context of a legal case.
These reports are typically requested by legal professionals, such as attorneys, insurance companies, or courts, to help assess and understand the medical aspects of a case.
The purpose of a medico-legal report is to provide an objective and professional evaluation of medical issues relevant to the legal proceedings.
The report aims to assist the legal process by offering an expert medical perspective on matters such as causation, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and the impact of injuries or medical conditions on an individual’s life.
