Types of recording we offer
Photography
Photographs of injuries taken soon after they are sustained serve to illustrate graphically the severity of injury and degree of suffering.
Subsequent photographs can show permanent scarring, deformities and other cosmetic effects of injury.
They can also be used to show disorders of function, such as the inability to grip an object, or one-sided facial paralysis resulting from nerve damage.
Confidentiality
All appointments and records are kept in complete confidence. Our digital photographs are stored securely and original camera files are archived in their raw state. A complete audit trail is maintained for every image produced. Keeping the entire process ‘in-house’ helps ensure the greatest care of the material.
Presentation
Photographs and videotapes can be presented ready for use by a personal injury panel or in court. Photographs are normally labeled and signed by the photographer, presented on single sheets and bound with an index in a folder. Videotapes are labeled, boxed and accompanied by a short, signed statement by the photographer in charge stating that he/she has monitored the tape at all stages of production.
Appointments
Appointments for photography can be made by telephone, email or letter. The department is open from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., and we are normally able to make appointments for the same, or the following day.
Clients are very rarely kept waiting for more than a few minutes and photography rarely takes longer than half an hour to a hour.
