Can you provide a quote for a case in advance?

If you require a detailed quote from an expert, you should email the office at info@resolvemedicolegal.co.uk specifying which expert you wish to instruct, what you wish the expert to comment on and the volume of records that the expert will have to review. We will then approach the expert and request the quote. This will then be emailed to you directly.

How long does it take to prepare a report?

Each of our experts vary in the length of time to prepare a report. On average, an orthopaedic expert will take around 14 days from the appointment date if all the client/pursuer’s complete records are available. Other specialist’s reports may take longer than this.

You can browse a full list on our experts page. First choose the specialism you require and then choose the region that you require.

If your client requires to be re-examined by an expert to prepare a supplementary report, we would ask that you create a new case on our portal with a detailed letter of instruction.

All instructions for medical reports should be uploaded to our secure online portal. Records should be uploaded to the case when possible.

You can do this by email at info@resolvemedicolegal.co.uk or by calling 0141 8831166.
