One of the experts that a personal injury solicitor may contact as he or she handles a client's compensation claim is a psychologist, as the experience of a serious accident injury or industrial disease can have grave effects on the sufferer, and this should be considered in any judgment of the case.
The Civil Procedure Rules allow that the same psychologist may be appointed to speak for both sides, ideally ensuring that the report favours the truth of the situation rather than the spin that either side would like to put on it.
It is likely that a report will break down into four sections. These will introduce the psychologist who authored the document, lay out the information that has been gathered from the personal injury victim and other relevant sources (such as close friends, medical reports, clinical history etc), a discussion of the matters that the listed information throws up, and finally a conclusion that lists the diagnosis, prognosis and expected time of recovery.
If treatment is recommended in these reports, it may well be costed, so that a judge hearing the case can use this information to set the levels of damages to be awarded if liability in the compensation claim is shown to rest with the defendant.
Of course, not every personal injury claim will need a psychological report; however, in cases where claimants feel that their case deserves one, but their lawyers have not appointed one, it is important to discuss that issue.
