Claim types
Personal injury: expert witnesses
Personal injury evidence commonly turns on injury, causation and prognosis, including the difference between an accident’s consequences and the course of pre-existing degeneration.
The evidence
The disciplines these claims instruct
A multi-expert claim is defined by the question each discipline answers, not by a generic list of medical titles.
The register can be searched by the disciplines relevant to the matter.

Jurisdiction
Where procedure changes the context
In Scotland, civil claims with an aggregate value of £100,000 or less must be raised in the sheriff court. That local procedural point belongs alongside the medical evidence, rather than inside a generic UK formulation.
In England and Wales, expert evidence is governed by CPR Part 35. The register’s personal injury procedure in Scotland page carries the separate jurisdiction context.
Nearby claim routes include road traffic accident claims and brain injury claims, where the discipline mix changes with the medical issues.
Report routes
Reports typically required
Condition and prognosis reports set out the current position and the expected medical course. Quantum reports may be relevant where future loss depends on the evidence of care, treatment or functional impact.
