United Kingdom
Produce detailed court presentable reports together with financial and photographic evidence
I have been on assignments to mainland Europe and Singapore carrying out mobility assessments for solicitors and hospitals resulting in equipment costings, depreciation calculations and forward predictions on costs especially for that of disabled children.Since starting my own practice I have been preparing jointly instructed reports with instructions from claimants and defendants and prepare joint documents with my counterparts on a regular basis. I have attended court on several occasions to support my reports working with barristers and lawyers mainly at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
