Specialist Screening

Explore the range of services we provide to support Specialist Screening claims, including expert witness testimony and medico-legal reports.

The Importance of Screening

Clinical negligence cases are inherently costly, time-consuming, and resource-intensive. Taking on too many cases poses significant risks, and accepting unsuitable cases can be disastrous. Implementing a robust screening system is crucial. By involving specialist experts early in the assessment process, you can quickly identify cases with low chances of success. Early elimination of weak cases reduces disbursement and WIP costs, and most importantly, frees up time to focus on winnable cases. Utilize Medico Experts' Specialist Screening and enhance your success rates significantly!

Specialist Screening

Medico Experts provides the UK's leading Fixed Fee Specialist Screening Reports. You can engage a specialist expert for a fixed fee to screen your case, assess its merits, and advise on the optimal course of action. Insurance providers recommend our screening services to help minimize the time and money spent on cases unlikely to succeed.

Step 1

FIXED FEE
PRE-SCREENING OPINION

A specialist opinion is provided based on a thorough review of a case synopsis, without the need for an in-depth records examination. This opinion is returned to you within 1-2 weeks. You will receive a detailed yet concise report that outlines the doctor's findings and evaluates the case's merits, offering a clear rating on the likelihood of success.

This service is particularly beneficial for obtaining necessary coverage and offers enhanced protection against professional indemnity risks. By leveraging expert insights early in the process, you can make informed decisions about the viability of your case, ensuring that your resources are directed towards favourable outcomes.

Step 2

FIXED FEE
SCREENING REPORT

This is a Specialist Screening Report based on a review of the medical records by an expert in the relevant specialty. You will receive a detailed report outlining the expert's professional opinion on whether the allegations are substantiated by the client's medical records and, if applicable, their recommendation for any additional expert reports needed to support the claims.

This report is non-court compliant but can be converted into a full Breach of Duty report if the findings are positive. It is ideal for drafting a compelling letter of claim or letter of response. By using this service, you can avoid unnecessary costs and focus on pursuing only the strongest cases.
