An easier way to get the expert medico-legal information and advice you need
Like many organisations and insurance companies seeking to protect both people and profits, are you:
- Unable to interpret complicated reports or legal queries… and want an expert to break down the details (including toxicology and related effects on human behaviour), so you can better utilise the data to address questions?
- Patients requesting medico-legal reports that you feel are outside your area of day-to-day work… and afraid that valuable clinical time may be lost in legal processes?
- Suspicious about a suspected workplace injury or illness… and need expert analysis to verify or refute potential claims?
- Has your patient reported injuries or drug testing that need expert reports for Court, police or other organisation… and want an independent assessment to address issues or provide peer support?
Lots of organisations and insurance companies have the same concerns. That’s why we created a Free 10-Minute Case Assessment to answer your questions and give you clarity around your options.
Why other professionals and organisations choose Lucid Legal Medicine for expert opinions and court reports
The right peer reviewed medico-legal information and advice — provided in a timely manner and with ongoing support — can be the key to helping organisations and insurance companies protect both people and profits.
However, without this expert information and advice, workers may be endangered, and organisations may be needlessly liable for compensation.
Here are just some of the things we do differently to help organisations and insurance companies protect both people and profits:
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 that is influential in advancing a case.
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
Personal injury claims often involve detailed, passionate stories. We’ll help you develop data-based questions that cut to the truth quickly and compassionately. And if necessary, expose falsehoods fast.
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 that minimises both health risk and liability.
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 Emergency Medicine to explain the practical and prospective effects on living humans and their behaviour. This allows you to better leverage data to protect both people and profits.
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.
