The Examination Process

What happens at your appointment

Each examination follows a structured, CPR Part 35 compliant format. Claimants are seen by appointment only — do not contact the clinics directly.

01 — Before
Preparation

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.

02 — During
Clinical Examination

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.

03 — After
The Report

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.

From Clinical Practice

Two cases — why examination matters

These anonymised cases illustrate the range of injuries assessed and why thorough clinical examination is central to an accurate, defensible report.

Case Study 01 — Missed Injury

Wrist pain following road traffic accident

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.

Case Study 02 — Soft Tissue RTA

Whiplash injury — rear-end collision

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.

Understanding the Injury

Whiplash & soft tissue injuries — what the examination finds

What is a whiplash injury?

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.

How is it graded?

Dr Hassan uses the Quebec Classification of Whiplash-Associated Disorders (WAD):

  • WAD 0: No neck symptoms, no physical signs
  • WAD I: Neck pain or stiffness only — no physical signs on examination
  • WAD II: Neck symptoms with musculoskeletal signs (reduced range of movement, point tenderness)
  • WAD III: Neck symptoms with neurological signs (weakness, sensory changes, reduced reflexes)
  • WAD IV: Fracture or dislocation — requires urgent hospital management

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 →

Frequently Asked

Questions from solicitors & claimants

How do I instruct Dr Hassan?

Send your letter of instruction to admin@drsyedhassanreports.co.uk. Include the claimant's details, the nature of the claim, relevant medical records, and your preferred examination location. Do not contact the clinics directly.

Which types of claim does Dr Hassan accept?

Dr Hassan accepts instructions for personal injury claims arising from road traffic accidents (including MedCo soft-tissue reports via the OIC portal) and broader personal injury matters. Instructions are accepted directly — no agency required.

How quickly can an examination be arranged?

Dr Hassan aims to offer appointments within 5–10 working days of receiving a complete letter of instruction. Expedited appointments can be arranged for urgent cases — please state this clearly in your instruction.

What is the difference between a MedCo report and a standard PI report?

A MedCo report is specifically for soft-tissue injuries from RTAs and must be submitted via the Official Injury Claim portal. A standard personal injury report covers a broader range of injuries and follows CPR Part 35 but is not submitted via MedCo.

Will the report comply with CPR Part 35?

Yes. Every report includes a statement of truth, a declaration of Dr Hassan's duty to the court, a statement of his qualifications, and a clear distinction between clinical findings and expert opinion.

What are Dr Hassan's GMC and accreditation details?

Dr Hassan is registered with the GMC (number 7554136) and holds MedCo authorisation DME9367 for soft-tissue RTA reports. He is fully indemnified for medico-legal work and registered with the ICO (ZC007435).
