title: [Structure, contents and findings of an expert report prepared by a medical professional (I)].
abstract: The second section in this report on accident-related injuries is concerned with the development and result of the report. Criteria which are generally valid for the preparation of the expert report are developed. The priorities here are the previous history obtained from the medical files, the accident report, description of injuries and pain, determination of the result, evaluation of diagrams and procedures and the diagnoses emerging from the overall picture. Results are assessed in line with the scientific reference literature. The standardised method of result determination and the assessment improve the quality of the expert report. The second section is intended for experts and insurance company employees.
