Product Information
This comprehensive guide to medico-legal report writing in civil claims bridges the 'communication void' that often exists between medical experts and the lawyers who instruct them. The book explains the legal principles and rules of court that must be applied in writing reports, gives guidance on the report's content and format, and provides practical forensic writing skills. The text includes exploration of the difficulties that medical experts have with the civil standard of proof and guidance for medical experts on how to report effectively on causation issues in straightforward and complex claims. It also offers detailed guidelines on: a wide variety of heads of claim; disability in the domestic and employment setting; acceleration, exacerbation, exaggeration and malingering; practical issues relating to video evidence; and provides an explanation of the expert's role in reporting on clinical negligence claims.Product Identifiers
