The primary objective of the medical legal report is to understand what has caused the injuries. The details of the employee’s condition will be examined very carefully by the medical professionals. They will also consider the place of their work and how this could have contributed to the injuries present. This is an important part of the process as this can confirm whether the injuries occurred when the individual was within their employment scope. If this was confirmed, they can be eligible for the workers’ compensation benefits.
