Our Services

Four disciplines.
A single standard.

Every service we offer feeds into the same medico-legal outcome — a report that stands up to clinical, legal and adjudicative scrutiny.

Service / 01

Medico-legal report compilation.

The cornerstone service of our practice. Each report is structured to address the specific evidentiary needs of RAF litigation — drawing on a surgeon-led clinical examination and synthesising it with collateral medical history into a coherent narrative.

Reports are formatted, paginated and referenced to the standard expected by attorneys, assessors and the courts.

  • Structured to RAF expectations
  • Surgeon-authored
  • Causation & sequelae analysis
  • Prognosis & future care
  • Indexed & cross-referenced
  • Court-ready presentation
Service / 02

RAF4 serious-injury assessments.

Detailed evaluation against the criteria of the RAF4 serious-injury threshold — applying both the narrative test and the AMA Guides framework where appropriate. Each assessment is documented to allow the adjudicating panel to follow the clinical reasoning directly.

Where appropriate, we identify whether a claimant's injuries are likely to constitute a serious injury and provide the supporting clinical findings.

  • RAF4 form preparation
  • Narrative test analysis
  • AMA Guides indicators
  • Whole-person impairment
  • Scarring & disfigurement assessment
  • Functional impact documentation
Service / 03

Road Accident Fund medical reporting.

Beyond RAF4, we prepare the broader medical reports required across the RAF litigation lifecycle — from initial medico-legal opinion through to supplementary reports addressing specific evidentiary questions raised by attorneys or experts.

Each report is anchored to documented clinical findings and remains internally consistent with the underlying examination.

  • Initial medico-legal opinion
  • Supplementary reports
  • Response to defence queries
  • Joint-minute preparation support
  • Treatment timeline reconstruction
  • Future medical care planning
Service / 04

Clinical evaluation & documentation.

An in-person clinical examination conducted by the reporting surgeon — including history-taking, physical examination, photographic documentation where indicated, and structured recording of findings.

This documentation forms the empirical bedrock upon which every subsequent medico-legal opinion in the matter is built.

  • Structured patient history
  • Surgeon-led examination
  • Photographic documentation
  • Range-of-motion assessment
  • Scar mapping & evaluation
  • Findings recorded for chain-of-evidence
Future Scope

Expansion by design.

Our service framework is structured to admit additional medico-legal disciplines as the practice expands. New scope will be added with the same standard of clinical authority, structural rigour, and attorney-aligned delivery that defines our existing work.
