Expert Report Writing in Toxicology (eBook)
Every year throughout the world, individuals’ health is damaged by their exposure to toxic chemicals at work. In most cases these problems will resolve, but many will sustain permanent damage. Whilst any justified claim for compensation requires medical and legal evidence a crucial and often controversial component of this process is the establishment of a causal link between the individual’s condition and exposure to a specific chemical or substance. Causation, in terms of how a substance or substances led the claimant to his or her current plight, can be difficult to establish and the main purpose of this book, is to provide the aspiring expert report writer with a concise, practical guide that uses case histories to illuminate the process of establishing causation in occupational toxicity proceedings.
In summary:
- A practical, accessible guide to the preparation of balanced, scientifically sound expert reports in the context of occupational toxicology.
- Focuses on the scientist’s role in establishing a causal link between exposure to toxins and an individual’s ill health.
- Includes real-life case histories drawn from the Author’s 15 years experience in this area to illustrate the principles involved.
Expert Report Writing in Toxicology: Forensic, Scientific and Legal Aspects proves invaluable to scientists across a range of disciplines needing guidance as to what is expected of them in terms of the best use of their expertise and how to present their findings in a manner that is authoritative, balanced and informative.
