Our assessments are conducted by specialists with experience in clinical practice and medico-legal reporting, ensuring clarity, objectivity, and legal compliance.

What is a Medical Negligence Assessment?

A medical negligence evaluation is an expert review of whether a healthcare provider’s actions or omissions fell below an acceptable standard of care and whether that breach resulted in harm to the patient. These assessments are vital in personal injury litigation, professional misconduct cases, and insurance investigations. Our medicolegal specialists review all relevant documentation, including:
• Medical records and hospital notes
• Test results and imaging
• Treatment timelines
• Clinical decision-making pathways
• Outcomes and complications
Following the review, we provide a written report that addresses key legal questions around causation, breach, harm, and standard of care.

When Are Medical Negligence Reports Needed?

Medical negligence reports are commonly required in cases involving:

  • Delayed or incorrect diagnosis
  • Surgical errors or complications
  • Failure to obtain informed consent
  • Prescription or medication mistakes
  • Inadequate monitoring or aftercare
  • Birth injuries or emergency mismanagement

These reports are often commissioned by personal injury lawyers, professional indemnity insurers, regulatory bodies, or courts.
