Chronic pain and CRPS: expert witnesses
Pain that outlasts its injury divides opinion like little else in personal injury work. Diagnosis, genuineness of presentation and prognosis each need careful, discipline-appropriate evidence.
The evidence
The disciplines this matter instructs
The register should be searched by the question a practitioner is asked to answer, not by a generic medical title.
Select the relevant disciplines, then agree scope, fees and availability directly with the practitioner.

The context behind the instruction
Procedurally these claims are ordinary: the forum’s rules on expert evidence apply as they would to any other injury. Evidentially they are demanding, and courts across the UK nations expect the diagnosis to follow recognised criteria.
For nation-specific context, see expert evidence across the UK nations. The register does not determine legal issues or provide legal advice.
Report routes
Reports commonly considered
condition and prognosis reports and quantum reports provide distinct forms of evidence. Their scope should follow the issues, available records and the questions put to the expert.
