How We Help You Get the Affordable,
Expert Medico-legal Information and Advice You Need
The right medico-legal advice and expert reports — provided in a timely, affordable manner and with ongoing support — can be the key to helping you win your claim, strengthen your defence, or solve your dispute.
However, without this expert information and advice you may miss out on an inheritance or compensation you deserve. Or worse – you may needlessly be found liable or guilty of a crime.
Here are just some of the things we do differently to ensure you get the best outcome:
Fast Turnaround
Getting timely information and opinions (especially when many hospital doctors are reluctant to cooperate) can be challenging. And delays jeopardise cases. Our proven processes ensure you receive the reports and opinions you need – accurately and efficiently.
Authoritative and Influential
Many medico-legal reports provide inadequate arguments that can easily be undermined. Our comprehensive, peer reviewed reports carry authority.
Clear, Jargon-Free Language
You don’t have the time to wade through complicated technical reports written to impress out of touch academics. Our expert team breaks down the data into a quick-read, easy-to-understand report that gives you the information you need – fast.
Court Ready
Our peer reviewed statements meet the ‘Expert Code Of Conduct’ and all legislative requirements to be sufficient for the court process including presentation by a judge (although we are also able to provide in-person evidence).
Strategic Support to Maximise the Impact of Your Data
While other medico-legal experts may give you the data you ask for, we help you interpret the data for more informed decisions and better outcomes.
Questions that Uncover
The Truth
Advancing your case (especially in personal injury, custody, abuse, and estate disputes) involves uncovering the weaknesses in the opposition’s arguments. We’ll help you develop data-based questions that cut to the truth quickly and compassionately. And if necessary, expose falsehoods fast.
The David and Goliath Advantage
Private people often feel intimidated and overwhelmed when challenging or defending themselves against corporations or opposing lawyers. Our authoritative reports put the advantage on your side.
Holistic Assessment to Minimise Risk
Most medico-legal experts are restricted to offering opinions within their limited field or expertise. Our diverse team has the skills and experience to examine the whole picture (immediate and proximate context) and provide holistic reporting so you can make informed decisions and get better outcomes.
Frontline Clinical Expertise
Unlike laboratory scientists whose knowledge is limited to theoretical concepts, and Pathologists whose focus is retrospective (dead bodies), our team of clinicians has vast experience in Toxicology, Forensics, Legal, and Acute Care Medicine to explain the practical and prospective effects on living humans and their behaviour. This allows you to better leverage data to protect your rights and advance your case.
Decades of Collaborative Experience
Our advice and reports have been of value in thousands of criminal and coronial cases over the past 17 years, a collaborative medical experience of 96 years, with 40 years in the forensic sphere.
More reasons to choose
Lucid Legal Medicine
We have extensive formal training and experience
We are medical professionals and forensic experts with extensive knowledge and experience in medico-legal matters. We have provided reports in thousands of criminal and coronial cases.
We provide a rapid response that is immediately useful
We understand you are busy, and that you need a result or outcome as quickly as possible. We will incorporate this into our delivery process and will provide you with a realistic timeframe during our first consultation.
We analyse the bigger picture, from both a medical and legal perspective
Our approach combines medical expertise, legal acumen, and a commitment to present the most comprehensive assessment possible. This integrated strategy enables us to provide keen practical judgment and unique insights to maximise clarity of case presentation and inform decision-making.
We are versatile clinicians, not single-discipline laboratory scientists
Medical matters and toxicology reports are best explained by clinicians with decades of experience in forensic and clinical medicine. We have extensive experience in the clinical space, within diverse locations such as emergency departments, general practice, intensive care and even watch houses. This broad experience means you get a comprehensive report giving you the best possible outcome.
We are broadly-experienced physicians, not pathologists
Most medico-legal opinions require an analysis of effects on a living human body, not a deceased one. The focus of many legal questions relate to when a person was alive, such as the effects of a drug or of their clinical care. We use our broad experience as clinicians to provide a relevant and prospective clinical opinion particularly for coronial matters.
Our solutions are customised to your desired outcome, and backed by research literature
We understand that each case is unique, and we tailor our services to meet the specific requirements of our clients. This personalised approach ensures that we address the individual needs and concerns of each case effectively. We also use peer-reviewed literature and other research resources to provide weight to our formal opinions and services.
