Core Services
Personal Injury Reports
Specialist assessment of orthopaedic trauma with emphasis on causation, long-term functional limitation and vocational impact. Typical cases include workplace injuries, falls, and major trauma where clear linkage between the incident and ongoing disability is required for quantum determination.
- Detailed chronology and mechanism of injury
- Full imaging review (X-ray, CT, MRI, US as required)
- Functional analysis and prognosis
Expert Assistance & Court Attendance
Support through the litigation process, including instructions, clarifying addenda, and attendance at mediation or court to provide oral evidence where required. I maintain clarity and impartiality throughout to assist the court in reaching a fair determination.
- Preparation of demonstrative chronologies and imaging extracts
- Pre-trial conferences and joint statement collaboration
- Reserved availability for trial testimony
Clinical Negligence Reports
Independent expert opinions focused on breach of duty and causation after careful review of hospital and primary care records across multiple providers. I identify departures from accepted orthopaedic practice and assess their likely contribution to the claimant’s outcome.
- Operation notes, postoperative care, imaging and follow-up analysis
- Assessment of delay, misdiagnosis or inappropriate management
- Evidence-based commentary with literature citations
- Reports on Causation, Breech of Duty, Harm, Condition & Prognosis
