Who are the best experts for Medical Negligence cases?
With over 21 years of experience in the industry, we’re well-versed in the full breadth of medical reporting and rehabilitation services. In this time, not only have we developed a covetable panel of medical experts spanning all disciplines and regions of the UK, but we have also earned a justifiable reputation for delivering service excellence.
But what makes our panel so much more effective than those of our competitors? And what does it take to be considered a Clinical Negligence expert on our renowned panel? We’re taking a closer look at our stringent recruitment process and what this means for you, our customer.
Here are just five of the qualities we look for in our medical practitioners:
1. By definition, an ‘expert’ is a person who is very knowledgeable or skillful in a particular area. Therefore, to be on our panel, the medical practitioner must be an authority in their respective field and have experience in court. They must truly be an expert. To ensure that they are, we take a look at their background, CV, reputation and experience - all are indicators that help us to validate their level of expertise.
2. When it comes to Clinical Negligence cases, meticulous attention to detail is vital. By nature, these claims are very complex, which is why we ensure our experts pay careful attention to their instructions by investigating all relevant medical records alongside assessing your client.
3. It can be very difficult to determine whether or not medical negligence has occurred, requiring experts to be decisive. It is their duty to work out what a doctor should do in the situation being investigated, and not what they might do. If the medical professional in question does anything other than what they should do, there are grounds for a Clinical Negligence claim.
4. Whilst it’s important for an expert to provide an independent, balanced opinion, it is also important that they are effective in communicating their findings verbally and in writing. We ensure that our experts can explain their opinion through referencing facts and medical literature in addressing how and why an injury has occurred.
5. Creating ‘Real Relationships’ is just one of our values here at Speed Medical and is something that is echoed across our departments. When choosing a new member for our panel, we seek responsive experts who will maintain a clear line of communication and a real relationship with both ourselves and the instructing solicitor.
