Expert Medical and Medico-Legal Reports in London, Built to Withstand Scrutiny
When a claim turns on medical evidence, the report is not a formality. It is the case. A weak or poorly reasoned report can undervalue a serious injury by tens of thousands of pounds or sink a sound claim entirely, while a rigorous, well-argued one strengthens every negotiation that follows. Instructing solicitors know this, which is why the experts they trust are worth their fees several times over, and why the right report is an investment rather than a cost.
The Online GP by The Wellness prepares expert medical and medico-legal reports for law firms, insurers and private clients across London and the UK. Reports are prepared to comply with Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules, written to withstand scrutiny in negotiation and in court, and delivered to deadline. Fees start from £1,500 for a proper expert report and rise with complexity, and for personal injury work the instructing firm ordinarily meets the fee and recovers it as part of the claim.
What these reports cost, and why
We set out our position on fees plainly. A straightforward soft-tissue or whiplash report sits at the lower end of the market. A proper consultant-level expert report generally starts from around £1,500. Personal injury reports involving one area of injury commonly run from £1,200 to £2,400, and multiple areas from £1,600 to £4,200. Liability and causation reports in clinical negligence typically run from £3,200 to £4,800, and condition and prognosis reports from £2,400 to £4,000. For complex, multi-issue clinical negligence matters, cases requiring several experts, extensive record review, supplementary reports, joint statements and court attendance, total fees frequently reach £10,000 to £15,000 or more.
These figures reflect what the work actually involves. A serious report can take many hours of examination, record analysis and careful drafting, and the more specialised the field, the fewer the experts able to do it and the higher their time is valued. We set out our fee clearly at instruction, so there are no surprises for you or your client.

The reports we prepare
Personal injury reports for road traffic, workplace, public liability and assault claims, with examination, diagnosis, prognosis and opinion on causation
Clinical negligence reports, including breach of duty, causation and condition and prognosis, applying the correct legal tests
Immigration and asylum reports, including documentation of scarring and the effects of removal
Psychiatric and psychological reports for the full range of civil, family and criminal matters

Capacity assessments, and supplementary, updated and joint reports
Expert testimony and attendance at court, and participation in experts' discussions
Where a case calls for a particular consultant specialty, we source and coordinate the right expert, so a single responsive point of contact manages the whole picture rather than leaving you to assemble a panel.
Independent, rigorous, and built to hold up
An expert report is not advocacy, and any report that reads as if it were is a liability. The expert's overriding duty is to the court, and the value of the report lies precisely in its objectivity. Our experts are trained in the CPR Part 35 framework, link findings clearly to causation and prognosis, answer the instructing questions directly, and reason their opinions so that they survive cross-examination. That discipline is what protects the settlement and, when it matters, holds firm in the witness box.

Deadlines, records and turnaround
Litigation runs on deadlines, and a report that arrives late can cost a hearing. We offer prompt appointments and expedited turnaround for urgent instructions, keep instructing teams updated at every stage, and where an examination, imaging or further tests are needed, we arrange them quickly and in one place to keep the report on track. For personal injury soft-tissue claims within the MedCo system, instructions are handled through the MedCo portal. Payment terms for solicitors are straightforward, and we are happy to discuss deferred arrangements aligned to the conclusion of the claim.
For the person behind the claim
Behind every instruction is a real person whose life has been affected, and who often simply wants to be believed and fairly compensated. If you have been asked to attend a medico-legal assessment, we make the experience calm and respectful. You are seen by an experienced doctor who takes the time to examine you properly and document everything accurately, and we liaise with your legal team directly so you are not caught in the middle. If your injury is serious or still being treated, please continue that treatment, and we will arrange the assessment around it.
How to instruct
Send us a brief outline of the case, the specialty required and your deadline. We will confirm the right expert, provide a clear fee, and get the report moving.
