Neurologist medico-legal reports
Independent reports from GMC-registered consultant neurologists on head injury, post-concussion syndrome, nerve damage and post-traumatic epilepsy, prepared to CPR Part 35 standards for personal injury and negligence claims.
The nervous system does not always show its injuries on a scan. A claimant can have normal imaging and still be left with headaches, memory problems, fatigue and personality change months after a head injury. Expert Medical arranges independent reports from GMC-registered consultant neurologists who examine the claimant, review the imaging and records, and give a reasoned opinion on diagnosis, causation and long-term prognosis.
Solicitors instruct our neurologists in road traffic, workplace and clinical negligence claims involving brain injury, nerve damage and post-traumatic epilepsy, and insurers instruct them where the neurological basis of ongoing symptoms is disputed. Every report is prepared under CPR Part 35, with the expert's overriding duty owed to the court whichever party instructs.
Head injury and concussion
After a head injury the pressing questions are severity, recovery and risk. The report grades the injury from the records, loss of consciousness, post-traumatic amnesia and imaging, addresses persisting post-concussion symptoms, and states whether the picture fits the accident or points to something else that needs investigating.
Nerve injury mapped precisely
Nerve damage claims turn on anatomy. Our neurologists localise the lesion on examination, correlate it with nerve conduction studies where they exist, and explain in plain language which nerve was injured, how the accident caused it, and how much function is likely to return over what period of time.
Epilepsy after trauma
Seizures that begin after an injury raise difficult questions about causation and future risk, with real consequences for driving, work and independence. The report addresses whether the epilepsy is attributable to the trauma, the outlook with treatment, and the practical restrictions the diagnosis places on the claimant's daily life.
Neurological evidence that explains itself
Neurology is technical, and a report that cannot be followed helps nobody. Our consultant neurologists write for the court, linking symptoms to anatomy and anatomy to the accident, so solicitors, insurers and judges can see exactly how the opinion was reached and what it means for the claim.
