Medicolegal Work

 

I regularly produce reports on instruction from solicitors relating to medicolegal claims. I provide a rapid turnaround (usually <3 weeks) with brief concise reports.

 

I have been doing medicolegal reports for about 20 years, approximately 50 per year with around 60/40% defendant/claimant split.

 

A total of 10 cases have resulted in appearance in Court.

 

 

My scale of fees is as follows:

 

Preparation of report: £200/hour, usually 2-4 hours

 

Examination of Client: £200, in addition to above

 

Attendance at Conference with Counsel: £200/hour

 

Travelling time: £100/hour (plus First Class rail fare)

 

Telephone conference between experts: £200/hour (usually 1 hour with 1 hour preparation)

 

Trials: £1200 per day in half day units (plus travelling time)

 

Short form reports can be arranged at a fixed cost of £500.
