Traumatic orthopaedic injuries can affect one’s life drastically. While many patients recover speedily with the correct treatment plan in place, others are not as lucky and require ongoing medical care.
It’s important that when selecting an orthopaedic surgeon to assess you, you choose a specialist with the experience, knowledge, insight and the appropriate qualifications. Dr Gabriel Pirjol is a highly qualified orthopaedic surgeon with the expertise and skills to provide the best medical care to patients and assess them for Road Accident Fund claims.
The first step to claim from the RAF involves getting all the necessary documentation in order. Without the relevant documentation, the probability of the claim being successful will drastically decrease.
The standard documents required include the following:
Additional forms of documentation may need to be submitted depending on the case.
As a highly experienced orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Pirjol draws up detailed medical reports crucial in RAF claims. These reports encompass descriptions of the injury and details of how the injury was sustained. A medical report also includes details of the treatment, such as medications administered, surgeries performed and rehabilitation.
A specialised doctor, such as an orthopaedic surgeon, can also act as an expert witness in an RAF claim. Their testimony helps clarify complex medical problems for legal professionals and judges, improving the outcome of the case.
Your attorney will refer you to Dr Pirjol, and he will compile a medico-legal report and fill in an RAF 4 form.
