What Does a Psychology Expert Witness Do?
A Psychology Expert Witness provides independent expert opinion to assist courts, solicitors and insurers in understanding psychological issues relevant to a case. This may include assessing psychological injuries following an accident, evaluating cognitive function after a brain injury, assessing the impact of trauma, or providing expert opinion regarding a person's mental wellbeing and capacity. Following an assessment, the expert prepares a detailed medico-legal report setting out their professional findings and conclusions.
Psychology Expert Witnesses in Legal Proceedings
Psychology Expert Witnesses are commonly instructed where psychological injury or behavioural evidence forms part of a legal claim. Their evidence may assist in establishing diagnosis, causation, treatment requirements, prognosis and the likely future impact of a psychological condition. In family proceedings they may provide assessments relating to children and families, while in personal injury claims they may assess the effects of accidents and trauma.
