INEM JOURNAL · MEDICAL EXPERT OPINIONS

Private medical opinions: questions, scope and limitations

A useful opinion explains the evidence behind its conclusions, the questions it answers and what cannot be established.

INEM editorial team · Editorial update: 13 September 2026 · General information, not an individual medical assessment.

For law firms, insurers and private clients

Start with a clearly defined issue: inconsistent records, the consequences of an event or medical questions that need clarification. A particular outcome cannot be commissioned. The physician must retain independent judgement.

What is agreed before work starts?

Questions, expert availability, report language, volume of records, any translation or examination, fee and deadline. For Polish–German cases, we also clarify the recipient and requirements for use of the document.

What do we not promise?

We do not guarantee a particular conclusion, compensation or acceptance by a court or insurer. The rules for using a private report must be checked for the particular procedure. Our process and scope are available before you enquire.
