Polytrauma involves multiple traumatic injuries that may affect different parts or systems of the body. Injuries can involve bones, soft tissues, nerves, internal organs or the spine. Patients may require treatment from several clinical specialties and coordinated rehabilitation.
Cases involving multiple serious injuries can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to the accident, mechanism of injury, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. Experts may also consider causation, functional impairment, future treatment needs and long-term outcomes.
Our trauma and orthopaedic expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, imaging, operative documentation and rehabilitation records. They can also assess the nature and consequences of multiple injuries.
