Dr Hassan conducts medico-legal examinations at seven conveniently located clinics — from Central London to East London and Essex. To instruct Dr Hassan, contact admin@drsyedhassanreports.co.uk.
Each examination follows a structured, CPR Part 35 compliant format. Claimants are seen by appointment only — do not contact the clinics directly.
Dr Hassan reviews all documentation provided by the instructing solicitor — the letter of instruction, relevant medical records, and the claimant's witness statement — before the appointment.
A full history is taken covering the incident, symptoms, treatment received and impact on daily life. A thorough physical examination documents range of movement in degrees, areas of tenderness, neurological findings and any visible injuries.
A formal medico-legal report is prepared within the agreed timeframe — covering clinical findings, diagnosis, prognosis, causation opinion, and a CPR Part 35 statement of truth. Delivered directly to the instructing solicitor.
These anonymised cases illustrate the range of injuries assessed and why thorough clinical examination is central to an accurate, defensible report.
A claimant attended for examination following a rear-end collision. He reported persistent wrist pain attributed to a soft tissue sprain at the roadside. He had continued working, assuming it would resolve.
On examination, Dr Hassan identified point tenderness over the anatomical snuffbox — a clinical sign raising concern for scaphoid fracture, a diagnosis frequently missed on initial X-ray. Left undiagnosed, a scaphoid fracture can lead to avascular necrosis and permanent wrist disability.
The claimant was referred urgently for MRI and orthopaedic review. The medico-legal report documented the findings and basis for referral — ensuring the legal record reflected the true severity rather than an assumption of minor sprain.
A claimant attended following a low-speed rear-end collision on the A13. She reported neck pain and stiffness beginning the morning after the accident, radiating into her right shoulder, with associated headaches and disturbed sleep.
Examination revealed cervical spine tenderness at C4–C6, with flexion limited to 30 degrees and right rotation to 35 degrees. No neurological deficits. Consistent with Grade II Whiplash-Associated Disorder (WAD II) per the Quebec Classification.
The MedCo report provided a prognosis of 4–6 months to full recovery with physiotherapy, documented the impact on her work, and confirmed injuries were consistent with the reported accident mechanism.
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck caused by rapid acceleration-deceleration — most commonly in rear-end road traffic collisions. It affects the muscles, ligaments, tendons and facet joints of the cervical spine.
Symptoms typically include neck pain and stiffness, headache, shoulder and upper back pain, fatigue and disturbed sleep. Onset is often delayed — many claimants first notice symptoms the morning after the accident.
Dr Hassan uses the Quebec Classification of Whiplash-Associated Disorders (WAD):
Most MedCo instructions involve WAD I or WAD II injuries. Accurate grading directly affects prognosis and the value of the legal claim. View report types →
