Book Information

Written for medical experts by Giles Eyre and Lynden Alexander and published in association with the Expert Witness Institute, this highly-praised guide to medico-legal report writing in civil claims bridges the 'communication void' that too often exists between medical experts and the lawyers who instruct them. The guide explains the legal principles and rules of court that must be applied in writing reports, gives guidance on the report's content and format, provides practical forensic writing skills, and explores the practical and contractual issues that arise in medico-legal practice. The Second Edition, due to be published in the summer of 2015, has been updated to include the latest case law, the most recent developments in medico-legal work (including the impact of the 'Jackson Reforms' and Medco), and has been expanded to include the issues that arise in Quantum and Care Reporting.
