What is an Expert Witness?
As a self-employed associate on our expert witness panel, you'll apply your clinical expertise in a new context, working alongside some of the UK's leading solicitors and insurers. You will work with both claimant and defendant solicitors on cases involving clients who have sustained serious injury as a result of alleged clinical negligence or personal injury, either to:

• Provide expert opinion on whether there has been a breach of duty, and where appropriate, whether that breach may have caused or contributed to the injury.
• Assess 'quantum' by considering the individual's pre-injury circumstances, the impact of the injury on daily life, and their future needs.
