Medico-legal Expert Witness

 

Medico-legal experience

With a track record of 20 years providing timely, clear, independent medical reports to the legal profession, Ruth fully understands the requirements of instructing solicitors, in particular the restricted timescales for civil litigation, the limitations of expertise, and the absolute need for independent, balanced consideration.

She has over 30 years clinical experience in Speech and Language Therapy with a specialism in hearing impairment in adults and children as well as children
with complex needs including cerebral palsy and learning disability.

Ruth has been commissioned to provide expert witness for both claimants, defendants, and as a single joint expert.
