Prosthetics Expert Witness listings
Listed prosthetics expert witnesses address prosthetic provision, componentry, replacement cycles and long-term needs after amputation.
01
What a prosthetics expert witness is asked to determine
The opinion is based on the records, assessment findings and the clinical context available at the relevant time. It separates the documented presentation from later outcome and identifies the issues that require specialist evidence.
- the prosthetic provision reasonably required for the amputation level and activity profile.
- componentry choice, maintenance and replacement cycles.
- whether rehabilitation potential supports the equipment claimed.
- the interface between prosthetic use, skin care, gait and function.
- lifetime cost evidence relevant to quantum.
Practitioners are listed across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, with listings searchable by location.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Will a Prosthetics expert witness respond to Part 35 questions?
Yes - CPR 35.6 entitles the parties to put written questions on a report, and answering them is part of the expert's duty to the court. A Prosthetics report prepared for proceedings in England and Wales carries the Part 35 statement of truth, with equivalent duties applying in the other UK jurisdictions.
Can a Prosthetics expert act as a single joint expert?
Where the court directs a single joint expert under CPR 35.7, the instruction is agreed between the parties and put jointly - a routine basis of instruction in this field. Whether a particular practitioner accepts SJE appointments is confirmed with the practitioner at the enquiry stage.
Will the expert attend joint discussions or give evidence at trial?
Where the court directs discussions between experts under CPR 35.12, they meet and produce a joint statement of what is agreed and what is disputed; attendance at trial - in person or by video link - is likewise a matter of court direction. These commitments are confirmed with the practitioner at instruction.
Can I choose a Prosthetics expert of a specific gender, or one who assesses remotely?
Yes on both counts. Every listing displays the practitioner's gender, consulting locations and assessment types - face to face, remote or both - so sensitive-instruction preferences can be applied at the shortlisting stage, before any contact is made.
