Medicolegal services
Our clinic provides medicolegal podiatry assessments and reporting for legal, insurance, or compensation matters. These services are designed to give an objective, evidence-based evaluation of foot and lower limb conditions to support legal proceedings, insurance claims, or workplace injury cases.

A medicolegal podiatry assessment may include:
- Comprehensive review of medical history and prior treatments
- Physical examination of feet, ankles, and lower limbs
- Gait and biomechanical assessment
- Review of imaging or diagnostic tests
- Assessment of functional limitations and impairment
Following the assessment, a detailed written report is prepared for your legal or insurance representative. Reports are impartial and structured to meet the requirements of courts, tribunals, insurers, or other regulatory bodies.
