A medico-legal assessment involves evaluating medical issues within a legal context. It typically includes reviewing medical records, conducting examinations, and providing expert opinions or testimony regarding the medical aspects of legal cases. These assessments can cover a wide range of topics such as personal injury claims, disability evaluations, fitness for work assessments, or assessments of capacity. 

The goal is to provide objective medical evidence to assist courts, lawyers, insurers, or other legal entities in resolving disputes or making informed decisions.
