Workers Compensation

When an employee suffers an injury or illness on the job, a medico legal specialist can assess and diagnose the condition, documenting its nature, severity, and potential impact on the individual’s ability to work and carry out daily activities. They also evaluate whether the condition is directly linked to the workplace or occupational hazards. Their expertise helps establish the connection between the condition and the individual’s work environment, providing essential evidence for workers’ compensation claims and legal proceedings.

 

Medico legal assessments in workers compensation cases involve reviewing the medical records, conducting physical examinations, and potentially ordering specialised tests or consultations. The aim is to determine the cause of the injury or illness, establish a connection to the workplace, and assess the extent of disability or impairment resulting from the condition.

 

Our medico legal specialists provide an objective evaluation of the condition and evaluation may involve considering occupational hazards, exposure to harmful substances, repetitive motions, ergonomic factors, or other workplace-related factors that could have contributed to the injury or illness and therefore rendered unfit to work.

 

Our medico legal reports help to establish the causal relationship between the condition and the workplace, clarifying the employee’s claim for benefits, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and potential compensation for lost wages or permanent disability.
