Public Liability
When an individual sustains an injury or experiences harm due to negligence or unsafe conditions in public areas or premises, a medico legal specialist can play a crucial role in assessing, documenting, and providing independent medical opinions on the medical aspects of the case. Their expertise helps establish the link between the injury and the negligence or unsafe conditions, providing essential evidence for legal proceedings or compensation claims.
Our role in Public Liability claims
Our medico legal specialist will play a significant role in establishing the liability of the responsible party in public liability cases through the comprehensive evaluation, documentation, and expert analysis of the medical aspects of the case.
OUR PROCESS
The four stages of our process ensure that your Medico-Legal report is of the highest standard.
STEP 1: INSTRUCT
360 Medico Legal receives instructions from solicitors, insurers and case managers together with medical documents. The referrer is provided with a list of potential independent medical specialists. Often the enquiry needs a particular specialisation or field of practice, and 360 Medico Legal can assist with this.
STEP 2: PREPARATION
An appointment is made with the client to visit our rooms. The 360 Medico Legal team ensures all necessary reports and medical information is available for the specialist.
STEP 3: APPOINTMENT
The client attends our offices for their consultation with the independent medical specialist. To maximise efficiency, the client can see more than one specialist on the same day. Are you outside Perth? We also offer medico legal assessments via telehealth across Australia as well as in person at specific locations.
STEP 4: REPORTING
Our independent medico legal reports are completed by the specialist(s) and vetted by the in-house Quality Audit team - which is headed up by our CIR accredited & Registered Clinical Nurse Manager. The completed medico legal reports are then provided to the instructing referrer within two weeks of the final consultation.
