14 Finding an expert
14.1 Most experienced personal injury practitioners keep their own lists of medical experts. These lists need constant updating by every member of the department. New, young medical experts are breaking into the field all around the country. Older ones are retiring and toning down their work.
14.2 Other supposed experts are being found out during trials or professional conduct hearings. For instance one supposed consultant in Kent who provided a large number of reports in whiplash cases in the late 1980s was found not to be qualified with his claimed FRCS and struck off in the early 1990s.
14.3 If no name springs to the mind, where should the lawyer look?
