What are Medico-legal Reports?
Medico-legal reports are documents written by a medical expert to provide an impartial assessment of a person’s physical or psychological injuries for legal proceedings. Key aspects of medico-legal reporting include:
Purpose:
To provide a factual and unbiased medical opinion that can be used to support a legal case, document injuries for a claim, or corroborate testimony.
Commissioning:
Reports are commissioned by a legal representative who provides instructions to the medical expert on what needs to be addressed.
Experts:
Reports are written by qualified medical experts with specific training in medico-legal matters, such as a general practitioner for general injuries or a specialist like an orthopaedic surgeon for specific bone injuries.
Impartiality:
The expert has a duty to the court to be factual and objective, not to the client. They must not tailor the report to fit a desired outcome.
Content:
Reports typically include the expert’s qualifications, the patient’s history, the examination findings, and an opinion on the cause, severity, and prognosis of the injuries. They may also explain the meaning of any test results.
