What is Medico-Legal Psychological Assessment?

A medico-legal psychological assessment is a specialized evaluation designed to assist in legal matters. At its core, this assessment focuses on providing an objective analysis of an individual’s psychological condition and its relevance to a legal case.

These assessments are required in the following cases:

  • To help the court to understand the psychological impact of an injury on a person.

  • To decide whether the individual is in good decision-making capacity in situations like guardianship, wills or consent to medical treatments.

  • To assess the mental capability of a person for a specific job.

  • To provide objective medical opinions in legal cases.

FAQs

 

  • We recommend you bring all the medical information, including x-rays or results of other tests that are in your possession and may be relevant to the appointment.

  • Unlike other medical appointments you might attend, a medico-legal appointment will not be confidential in the same way. What you tell the doctor or healthcare professional and the doctor or healthcare professional’s examination, findings and opinion will form the contents of a report which will be provided to the court for legal purposes.

  • The cost of a medico-legal psychologist assessment may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the issues to be addressed.
