Independent clinical scrutiny of medical evidence
In simple terms, we help claims and legal teams understand whether the medical evidence being relied upon stands up to clinical scrutiny — and how evidential clarity can be achieved when it does not.
Claims decisions are driven by medical evidence — but that evidence is rarely subjected to true clinical scrutiny
​
Dr Watson exists to address that gap.​
​
We are a doctor-led service providing independent clinical scrutiny of medical evidence relied upon in personal injury claims, helping claims and legal teams understand whether the evidence being relied upon is medically robust, proportionate, and reliable.
​
Where medical evidence is unclear, delayed, or incomplete, we support proportionate, clinically-led steps to resolve evidential deadlock.
When medical evidence becomes a risk
Claims teams typically engage Dr Watson where:
• Medical reports drive valuation, but clinical reasoning is uncertain
• Prognosis or causation appears unsupported or disproportionate
• Claims stall due to missing or delayed medical evidence
• Decisions must be taken, but evidential confidence is lacking
What makes doctor-led scrutiny different
Claims professionals and legal teams are expected to interrogate medical evidence — yet they are not clinicians.
Doctor-led scrutiny allows medical evidence to be assessed against accepted clinical standards, recognised recovery norms, and medical plausibility, rather than narrative presentation.
