We are a tier two agency, offering a quick, fully independent service, backed up with the Proclaim.
MedCo allows solicitors to source experts to provide medical reports for soft tissue injury claims, part of personal injury claims in road traffic accidents.
How will the system work?
Any accredited Medical Reporting Organisation (MRO), qualified GP, physiotherapist, A&E consultant and orthopaedic consultant can register with MedCo.
A solicitor can search for individuals, or MROs, with which they do not have any financial links, to provide them with an initial medico-legal report for an RTA soft tissue injury.
The system will present the solicitor with a choice of randomly generated results. From these results they will be able to appoint an expert or MRO to instruct for their claim.

How will I know the standard of the expert or MRO?
