What is a medical assessment for a personal injury claim?
A medical assessment for a personal injury claim is when you go to see a medical professional for them to examine you after an accident that was not your fault.
Your personal injury solicitor needs an independent medical assessment of your injury to show that you are suffering from the effects of the accident. The report from the doctor will outline the extent of your injury and the impact on your life now and in the future.
You may already have had a GP or hospital doctor treat you for the personal injury, and their report can be vital evidence in your compensation claim. An independent medical report can reinforce the fact that you were injured and that the injury is due to the accident.
The more evidence you can produce, the stronger your claim for injury compensation will be. The details supplied by the medical assessment can show how you are impacted by the injury caused in an accident that was not your fault.
Your personal injury solicitor can recommend an independent medical professional to do your medical assessment.

Your personal injury solicitor can use the doctor’s report when assessing your injury and to see if you have a valid personal injury claim.
