Medical reports for e-bike and e-scooter accident claims

Independent medico-legal reports for people injured by e-bikes, e-scooters and electric motorbikes, prepared by GMC or HCPC-registered specialists to CPR Part 35 standards and reviewed for compliance before delivery.

Expert Medical is an independent medical reporting organisation. We prepare independent medico-legal reports for injuries caused by e-bikes, e-scooters and electric motorbikes, working with the solicitors and insurers who handle these claims. Most people hurt by these vehicles are pedestrians or other vulnerable road users. We source a medical expert in the right specialism, arrange the examination close to the injured person, and produce a report written to the standards the court expects. We provide the medical evidence; we do not give legal advice or manage the claim itself.

When someone is hit by an e-bike or e-scooter, the claim usually turns on an independent medical report that records the injuries, links them to the collision, and gives a prognosis for recovery. Because most people hurt are pedestrians rather than drivers, the claim sits outside the MedCo process for low-value car-occupant claims, so the expert is instructed directly and matched to the injury. We arrange examinations across England and Wales, check every report against CPR Part 35, and work to timescales agreed with the instructing party. If you are a solicitor or insurer looking for a medical reporting organisation to prepare an independent report for an e-bike or e-scooter injury claim, our panel and process are built for exactly that.

Reports for the full range of e-bike and e-scooter injuries

Being struck by an e-bike or e-scooter can cause anything from soft-tissue injuries and fractures to head, facial and spinal injuries, and the severity is not always obvious at first. Each instruction is matched to a specialist in the relevant discipline, so the injury is assessed by an expert who works in that field.

Independent and CPR Part 35 compliant

Every report carries the declarations and statement of truth that CPR Part 35 and Practice Direction 35 require, and is checked for compliance before delivery. The expert's overriding duty is to the court, so the report is independent. Because those hurt are usually pedestrians, the claim falls outside MedCo and the expert is instructed directly.

Arranged close to the injured person

Examinations are arranged near the claimant through a nationwide panel, and the expert is held to timescales agreed with the instructing party, so the medical evidence keeps pace with the claim. A local appointment also spares an injured pedestrian a long journey while they are still recovering from the collision.

Independent medical evidence for e-bike and e-scooter injury claims

Injuries from e-bikes, e-scooters and electric motorbikes can be more serious than they first appear, and the medical picture can take time to settle. We provide clear, independent reports that set out the injuries, the treatment needed and the likely recovery, so the claim can be assessed on sound medical evidence.
