  • Medical assessment

The employers insurers will insist on an independent examination by an agreed medical doctor to assess the personal injury suffered by the claimant.

Many people worry about this examination as they may be recovered or on the road to recovery by the time the assessment comes around. However the examination very often takes the shape of a retrospective review and the doctor will have details of the claimants medical history with which to form an opinion about the injury suffered.

You do not need to display any symptoms at the time of the assessment, if you have gone on to make a recovery during the period leading up to the examination then this will be explained within the medical report provided by the doctor.

 


The examination generally takes the form of an interview rather than a physical assessment and in this respect there is nothing to worry about from the claimants perspective. The doctor is not looking to undermine the claim, but simply to establish the injury that was caused by the accident.

The medical report is absolutely vital in terms of evidence because the insurers will not pay compensation without it. A claimant does not pay for this evidence.
