Guideline for Arranging medico-legal assessments
The Guideline for Arranging medico-legal assessments aims to provide a best practice model for CTP insurers and lawyers when arranging medico-legal assessments of people injured in motor vehicle accidents with a CTP insurance claim.
This guideline should be read in conjunction with the appropriate governing legislation.
