[The medical and insurance technical part of expert assessment].
The expert's demands careful exploration including consideration of psychological factors. Furthermore, to establish their final reports the insurance companies involved need detailed answers to specific questions in regard to the impairment. The medical expert finds himself in an area of conflict between doctor-patient relationship (which requires mutual trust) and his duty as an expert. His task will be made easier if he clearly separates the first part of his report dealing with the medical aspects from the second part referring to the more technical problems of the insurer. It is only after clarification of the medical situation that the questions relating to the insurance as such can be clearly answered. Factors which do not seem to relate directly to the medical aspects of the accidental sequels (e.g. psychosomatic), but which the Swiss Insurance Court does take more and more into account, may be mentioned, however, their evaluation is best left to the insurance company which ordered the expert's report.
