The medicolegal implications of hindsight bias 

by Dr Christopher Jenner, Consultant in Pain Medicine

In the context of clinical medicine, bias is the predisposition to form premature or undue impressions that are not based on the actual data to hand. Hindsight bias refers to the tendency to exaggerate one’s own ability to predict the inevitability of an outcome once that outcome is already known.

Pain and malingering from a medicolegal perspective

There are several definitions of malingering, but in essence, it is the deliberate and fraudulent feigning or exaggeration of the symptoms of illness or injury for an external benefit. It differs from factitious disorder, where the benefit to the patient is the satisfaction of an internal psychological need.

The value a well-written medicolegal report can add to a claim

A medicolegal report is a fundamental part of a claim for compensation, as it provides the foundation for much of the claim. Not only is it essential in proving that any injuries were sustained as a result of the incident in question, it will be used to assess the validity and potential value of a claim and is therefore vital in negotiating a settlement.
