Default Re: Injury Claim

Firstly from my own experience after being offed. My first medical examination that concluded that I had "Soft Tissue" injuries and would be fully recovered within 6 months was on behalf of the 3rd parties solicitors. Not happy with the pain that I was suffering I sought a second opinion from a consultant orthopedic surgeon that specialised in shoulders. After his examination he read the original report.


Putting it down. His first comments where who the hell wrote this, then after a couple of minutes on the computer came back with. He is a bloody GP what qualifies him to give opinions/prognosis on trauma injuries. A second report was issued by my consultant and I had to have a follow up by the 3rd parties who this time was a named orthopedic specialist. Who immediately recognised my consultant as an eminent professor of orthopedic surgery specialising in shoulder injuries and he concurred with my chaps findings.


Sufficient was proper medical reporting that after 4 years of arguing I got a reasonable out of court settlement. But 15 years after I would give it all back for it never to have happened in the first place. Even sat here typing that damn shoulder is hurting. So much for the 6 month to fully recover!
