Lawyers inappropriately using medical consultants to secure larger injury awards, judge warns
Briefly

Mr Justice Michael Twomey expressed strong concern over solicitors referring clients to medical consultants for personal injury claims, deeming the practice 'inappropriate' and detrimental to justice. He highlighted how these referrals lead to the submission of 'inappropriate medical evidence,' compromising the integrity of the legal process.
During a recent case involving a minor car accident, Mr Justice Twomey criticized the reliance on medical consultants to validate claims, indicating a troubling trend where the quality of medical evidence is sacrificed for the sake of litigation.
