Mr Horwitz undertakes personal injury medico legal examinations and reports. He is currently not taking on any clinical negligence cases.
Mr Horwitz receives instructions from solicitors and insurance companies and acts for both Claimant and Defendant. Drawing on his broad clinical knowledge and in depth expertise in traumatic injury he is well placed to provide expert witness reports.
Mr Horwitz is a 1st tier APIL recommended expert.
Medico Legal examinations usually take place 14.00 Wednesday afternoons at Cromwell Hospital SW5 0TU. Provided ALL records and passwords are available for the date of the consultation, report turnaround time is 10 working days.
If the records are delayed there will be an additional fee added to the report OR the report will be issued and an addendum will be issued once the records have been received. Imaging (x-rays or MRI) is often central to Mr Horwitz’s review of the patient and if the actual imaging has not been received/ cannot be opened Mr Horwitz will arrange x-ray on the day (fee £200-250 per hand) and the fee will be added to the report invoice. (x-ray/ MRI reports are not sufficient, Mr Horwitz needs to review the images).
We prefer records to be made available via a secure server where they can be downloaded and saved securely on our systems. Alternatively, please post hard copy records (if you have them) and the CD to our office address below. If there is a password for any records please make sure this is provided.
We require our Terms and conditions for medico-legal work to be signed and returned with letter of instruction.
Please contact Amanda or Karen in the office to discuss appointment availability.
Email is preferred but should you need to send hard copy notes, correspondence address: Mr Maxim Horwitz, The Hand Doctor Ltd, Hospital St John St Elizabeth, 60 Grove End Road, London NW8 9NH.
