Outcomes
A report from an independent expert is needed in the majority of personal injury claims and so understanding these reports is a vital skill for a lawyer or claims handler.
Most often this evidence is a medical report, also known as a medico-legal report, that has been written by a medical professional who has been agreed as an expert witness in the legal proceedings.
After completing this course you will:
- Know how to analyse a medical report
- Be able to identify evidence supporting general damages and special damages
- Understand the difference between condition and prognosis
- Understand the impact of any relevant pre-existing injuries
- Know the importance of understanding the medical terminology used
- Know the relevant parts of the CPR relating to medical reports
