Medico-legal

Dr Simon Corbett, Professor Nicholas Curzen and Dr James Wilkinson regularly undertake medico-legal work, offering clear, evidence-based assessments across a broad range of cardiovascular conditions.

Our consultants provide expert opinions relating to coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, atrial fibrillation and many other aspects of general cardiology. Reports are prepared to a high professional standard, drawing on extensive clinical experience and current best practice to support legal proceedings, insurance claims and independent medical assessments.

We understand the importance of delivering objective, impartial and well-reasoned medical opinions. Our consultants are experienced in reviewing complex medical records, assessing causation, prognosis and the impact of cardiovascular conditions on an individual’s health, lifestyle and ability to work. Each report is tailored to the specific requirements of the case and presented in a clear and accessible format.

Our medico-legal services support solicitors, insurers, employers and other professional organisations requiring specialist cardiology expertise. We can assist with personal injury claims, clinical negligence cases, occupational health matters and assessments relating to long-term disability or future care requirements.

Where required, our consultants are also able to provide supplementary reports, respond to questions from legal representatives and attend court as expert witnesses. Throughout the process, we are committed to providing a professional, efficient and responsive service, ensuring reports are delivered within agreed timescales wherever possible.
