Practical questions
Questions about medico-legal reports.
What should I include in my first enquiry?
A brief, non-identifying outline of the matter, the report type and any relevant deadline. Ask how to provide further information before sending records or sensitive case material.
How much does a report cost?
The published hourly rate is on the Fees page. The total depends on the case and agreed scope of work.
Can a report meet my deadline?
Tell the team about the deadline when you enquire. Availability and timing need to be discussed for the individual case; an enquiry does not reserve a date.
How will the assessment take place?
Ask the team to confirm the format and location appropriate to the report. The arrangements should be clear before an appointment is agreed.
Is this the same as an appointment for treatment?
A medico-legal assessment addresses questions raised in a legal matter. For diagnosis or ongoing care, explore clinical assessment and treatment.
