MRI Advice for Solicitors and
Laywers
We have a long experience of medicolegal work, with a combined
experience of over 2000 medicolegal reports, including attendance
at Civil and Crown courts to present evidence. Referral
for a medicolegal Magnetic Resonance Imaging can be through
an appropriate clinical professional or following direct referral
from the solicitor. MRI is particularly useful in situations
such as a whiplash injury following a road traffic accident,
when the presence or absence of a disc protrusion can be established.
MRI is much more sensitive than a plain radiograph when used
for the detection of early degenerative change following a
traumatic injury, particularly when that injury has involved
a joint.
We provide a rapid appointment and report.
Charges for medicolegal examinations are identical to our
standard tariff (£250 for one area) but are subject
to VAT. Films can be supplied if necessary, at a small additional
cost.
