Expert Evidence.
Without Compromise.

Independent pain medicine expert witness services — consultant-authored and fully CPR Part 35 compliant.

Our Mission

Pain Expert is an independent pain medicine expert witness service connecting legal professionals with consultant pain specialists to deliver court-compliant, medico-legal evidence.

Who we serve

Our work as a pain medicine expert witness service requires strict adherence to CPR Part 35, independence from instructing parties, and careful analysis of causation and prognosis. We support civil litigation across claimant and defendant matters, accept Single Joint Expert (SJE) instructions, and integrate with MIB and MRO workflows.
