It is highly likely that you will need to undergo a medical examination when making a clinical negligence claim. Your solicitor will arrange for you to see an independent medical expert who will assess you to determine how the negligent treatment has affected you. They will also consider your current condition and future prognosis. In some cases they will provide advice on your future care needs, if these are attributable to the negligent treatment. They will provide your solicitor with the evidence they need to quantify the amount of compensation you may be entitled to for the injuries you have suffered.
