Slips, trips and falls: expert witnesses
Fall claims range from a simple fracture to life-changing injury in an older claimant. The medical questions are mechanism, consistency with the account, and what the injury now prevents.

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
Occupiers’ liability rests on separate statutes in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the claim follows the procedure of its forum. The medical evidence addresses injury and consequence, not the occupier’s duty.
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 address the injury, its treatment and its likely course; quantum reports address the losses that follow. Their scope should follow the issues, available records and the questions put to the expert.
