Medico Legal Photo Qualified medical photographers in the North east

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are specialist qualifications important?

Medical Photographers (BSc) are specially trained to show injuries or anatomy accurately and fully and have the specialist equipment required to do this

How can this help in Legal Cases?

Maximum compensation can be won in personal injury cases when scars and injuries are photographed in a way which shows their full extent and impact.

We can prove images are a true and accurate record and have not been manipulated. You therefore have peace of mind that the photographic evidence will not come into question

Why is Medico Legal Photo different to the high street photographer?

High Street Photographers are often unqualified and have no idea about their legal obligations to the client, or the legal protocols for images. The authenticity of their work may be questioned and therefore the photos will be of little or no value

What do you provide?

Along with the value of our expertise, we offer flexibility, fast turnaround, convenience for the client. You get a full set of prints - fully illustrating the injury with correct lighting and measurements. These are labelled on the back with all relevant details.

A signed letter of authenticity adds value and gravitas to the evidence

Where and when can the photo session take place

Clients can visit the Chester le Steet studio, or home visits can be arranged if necessary. These will be at at time to suit the client. Some evening and weekend visits are possible

I’m a solicitor, how do I instruct you?
