Medical reports for workplace accident claims
Independent medico-legal reports for people injured in accidents at work, prepared by GMC or HCPC-registered specialists to CPR Part 35 standards and reviewed for compliance before delivery, with examinations arranged close to the claimant across England and Wales.
Expert Medical Examination is an independent medical reporting organisation (MRO). We prepare independent medico-legal reports for people injured in accidents at work, working with the solicitors and insurers who handle employers liability claims. A workplace accident can range from a manual handling injury or a fall to a serious crush or occupational condition, and each claim turns on clear, independent medical evidence. 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.
How the report is sourced sets a workplace claim apart from a motor claim. MedCo applies only to a motor-vehicle occupant's low-value soft-tissue first report, so a workplace injury falls outside the MedCo framework and the expert is instructed directly and matched to the injury. Reports are prepared by GMC or HCPC-registered specialists to CPR Part 35 and Practice Direction 35, with examinations arranged near the claimant across England and Wales. If you are a solicitor or insurer looking for a medical reporting organisation (MRO) for an accident at work or employers liability claim, our nationwide panel and CPR Part 35 process are built for exactly that.
Reports for every workplace injury
An accident at work can cause a back or musculoskeletal injury, a fracture, a crush or hand injury, or hand-arm vibration syndrome, and the effect 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 reviewed for compliance before delivery. The expert's duty is to the court, so the report is independent. A workplace injury is not a motor claim, so the expert is instructed directly, outside the MedCo framework.
Arranged close to the injured worker
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 worker a long journey while they are still recovering.
Independent medical evidence for accident at work claims
Injuries from a workplace accident 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.
