Platinum Medico-Legal Services

Platinum Medico-Legal offers a premium service of academic and clinical excellence for complex and high value medico-legal cases in order to meet a recognized need for this service.

Our medico-legal experts are senior physicians of undoubted reputation and expertise.

Platinum Medico-Legal was founded and is directed by Professor Lorraine Dennerstein AO, a senior academic, clinician and researcher with over two decades of experience in complex medico-legal matters.

Quality

Our medico-legal reports are of consistently high quality. Our medico-legal consultants are renowned for their diagnostic acumen and thoroughness in assessment of the patient, review of documentation and sorting out the diagnostic, causality, management, impairment and work capacity issues.

Concise and clearly written medico-legal opinions enable the client to understand the reasoning and answers to their questions. For the corporate client key issues of safety in the workplace, capacity for pre-injury and other duties and need for any restrictions are addressed.

Timeliness

Our medico-legal assessments are completed in a timely way. For most medico-legal reports we can offer a 7 day turnaround from time of patient assessment.

Lack of Restrictions

We do not restrict our medico-legal advisor's business in any way. To the contrary we seek to provide them with intellectually interesting cases from clients who may not currently access them.

Type of Cases

We aim at the high value cases such as those coming to reinsurers, medical negligence or other complex matters. As such we are able to ensure that adequate fees reach the expert which will compensate the expert for time and make it worthwhile for the expert to add and prioritise these cases in a timely way.

Our medico-legal consultants are also available for court work as expert witnesses if needed. File review is another way in which we can offer medico-legal advice.

Client Base

We work with the corporate, insurance, reinsurance, and medical negligence areas. Platinum Medico-Legal has been formed in response to a recognized unmet need for a high quality service.
