A medical assessment in personal injury covers the process of gathering and assessing a claimant’s medical evidence to support a claim for damages. A solicitor arranges and reviews independent medical reports, obtains medical records, and coordinates with the medical experts who assess how the injury affects the claimant’s health and abilities. They may prepare questions for the expert, challenge opinions, and use the resulting reports to value and progress the case toward settlement or trial.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The outcome hinges on the accuracy and credibility of medical evidence, such as how the injury affects mobility, pain, and daily functioning, and on deadlines for furnishing reports or witness evidence. A solicitor protects the client’s position by ensuring timely, properly authenticated medical documentation, preserved rights of appeal against adverse findings, and appropriate use of expert evidence to support liability and quantum.
