Criminal injuries compensation: expert witnesses
The instruction should isolate the injury, its functional consequences and the evidence required for the particular compensation route. A clear chronology and proportionate specialist input help distinguish the lasting effects from the acute event.
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
The correct route and procedural requirements depend on the forum and facts. The expert’s role remains confined to the clinical questions within their discipline.
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 records review reports provide distinct forms of evidence. Their scope should follow the issues, available records and the questions put to the expert.
