Medico Legal Experience
I have been compiling medico-legal reports for over 10 years. I am fully up-to date with the Woolf reforms and the subsequent changes this has made to report compiling.
My reports are fully compliant with the Civil Procedures Rules, 1998 - Part 35, and subsequent Practise directions 35 (October 2009).
My work is predominately Personal Injury claims.
My expertise is in General Orthopaedic conditions. This includes soft tissue spinal injuries, as well as a specialised interest in injuries of the upper limb.
I compile up to 200 reports a year. The average time to be seen is 2-4 weeks. The turn-around time in returning a completed report, if all medical records have been made available, is less than 2 weeks.
I provide Personal Injury reports for claimant’s solicitors in about 40% of cases, as a Single Joint Expert in about 50% and for the defence solicitors in about 10% of cases.
I am a member of the Society of Expert Witnesses.
