Medico Legal

Medico Legal

Medico-legal physiotherapy involves physiotherapists providing expert assessments and reports for legal purposes, such as in personal injury or medical negligence cases.

These reports serve as evidence in court, detailing an injury’s impact, required treatment, and potential for recovery to help determine compensation or liability.

The process typically includes a referral from a legal representative,
a comprehensive assessment, and the creation of a detailed, evidence-based report.

Medicolegal reports can advise, within the context of physiotherapy, the following:

• Injury sustained
• Past, present and future functional capacity
• Present, future and ongoing physiotherapy rehabilitation needs
• Physiotherapy recommendations and costs
• Clear prognosis timescales
• Opinion on whether to proceed with a medical negligence case
