Expert Witness Services
We provide Expert Witness Reports for the Court (nationally and internationally) on rehabilitation, care and case management in the case of personal injury or clinical negligence litigation, and give opinion in other Courts, such as Criminal and Coroner’s Court, if requested to do so.
We assess individuals’ functional and social abilities following severe injuries, and advise on their rehabilitation, equipment, care and case management needs. Our detailed reports also outline the costs of implementing the recommendations.
