Medical Opinion for Legal Purposes

Israeli Specialist Physicians for Domestic and International Legal Proceedings

A medical opinion is a professional document prepared by a specialist physician for use in legal proceedings, medical committees, and institutional or judicial bodies.
Its purpose is to present a clear, structured, and medically grounded analysis that allows legal professionals—who are not medically trained—to understand the clinical situation, its implications, and the medical reasoning relevant to the legal question at hand.

At the clinic, medical opinions are prepared across a wide range of medical specialties. Each opinion is written specifically for the defined legal purpose, based on the available medical documentation, and in accordance with accepted medical standards.
The focus is on clarity, accuracy, and professional medical reasoning—without legal argumentation or advocacy.

Medical Opinions for Lawyers and Law Firms

The clinic works with lawyers and law firms involved in personal injury claims, insurance disputes, labor law cases, civil litigation, and complex medical-legal matters.
Medical opinions are prepared in direct alignment with the legal questions defined in advance, while maintaining a strict separation between medical assessment and legal conclusions.

The work emphasizes:

• Clear medical language that is accessible to legal professionals
• Structured analysis tailored to judicial or institutional requirements
• Reliance on accepted medical standards and clinical practice
• Presentation of a complete clinical picture, without unnecessary expansion

Medical Opinions for International Legal Proceedings

In addition to domestic legal work, the clinic collaborates with international law firms and legal offices seeking independent medical opinions from Israeli specialist physicians.

Medical opinions may be prepared in English for legal proceedings conducted outside Israel, including in Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, and other jurisdictions, subject to applicable legal frameworks.

These opinions are suitable for cross-border legal use and are written with awareness of international expectations regarding expert medical documentation.
The focus remains strictly medical, independent, and professionally grounded.
