Psychiatric examination in case of personal injury cases

In the case of business or traffic accidents, for example, Sazyes is called in to assess whether there is a medical-causal link between physical or psychological symptoms and a specific event. This is also called Psychiatric examination in personal injury cases. If the answer is affirmative, we also make a statement about any resulting limitations.

Legal liability

Medical-specialist reports in connection with legal liability can be established in various ways. 'Out of court', either the injured party or the liable party can take the initiative to do so, whether or not in coordination with the other party. Parties can also ask the judge for a 'preliminary expert opinion' to determine if they have a "case." Finally, the judge can also engage a medical expert, both at first instance and on appeal.
