Trusted Neurophysiological Reports for Legal Clarity
Objective, evidence-based assessments to support medico-legal claims of neurological injury or functional impairment.
Medico-legal Assessments and Reports
At our practice, we provide expert medico-legal assessments and detailed clinical neurophysiology reports to support legal proceedings involving neurological injury or dysfunction. These evaluations are essential when objective, evidence-based insights are needed in personal injury, medical negligence, disability, or insurance - related cases.
What Is a Clinical Neurophysiology Medico-Legal Assessment?
A medico-legal assessment in clinical neurophysiology involves a comprehensive neurological evaluation using diagnostic tests such as:
  • Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) & Electromyography (EMG):
    to evaluate nerve and muscle function and identify injuries such as peripheral neuropathies, nerve entrapments, or radiculopathies.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG)

    to assess brain function and detect
    abnormalities such as seizures or traumatic brain injury.
These tests provide objective physiological evidence that can help clarify the extent and impact of a neurological condition or injury, and whether it is consistent with the reported symptoms or incident.
Who May Require This Assessment?
Medico-legal neurophysiology assessments are typically requested in cases involving:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Spinal cord or peripheral nerve injury
Neurological complications of trauma
Medical negligence claims
Workplace or motor vehicle accidents
Assessment of functional impairment or disability
The assessment may be requested by a patient’s legal representative, an insurance company, a court, or an independent medical examiner.
What to Expect During the Process
Medico-legal neurophysiology assessments are typically requested in cases involving:
  • Referral Required
    A formal referral or written instruction outlining the legal questions to be addressed is typically required before assessment. This ensures all examinations are focused, relevant, and meet medico-legal reporting standards for accuracy and clarity.
  • Clinical Consultation
    Electromyography (EMG) may cause mild temporary discomfort at the site where the small needle electrode is placed. Most patients find the sensation manageable and experience minimal discomfort throughout the diagnostic testing process.
  • Ethical Standards
    All procedures are conducted to the highest ethical and professional standards, ensuring impartiality, fairness, and clinical accuracy. The process prioritises objective findings and evidence-based reporting free from bias or external influence.
Why Neurophysiology Reports Are Important in Legal Contexts
Clinical neurophysiology provides objective, quantifiable data that is difficult to misrepresent, making it a highly reliable form of evidence. These reports can clarify the presence, severity, and cause of neurological conditions and are often crucial in supporting or refuting claims of injury or disability.
