Compensation following major catastrophes has become a challenge for legal and psychiatric services. Both objectivity in assessment of patients and the burden of proof of causation pose special problems. The complexities of each case may not be fully addressed by assessment at a distance. Spurious objectivity needs to be recognized and minimized Collective actions limit the number of claimants appearing personally in court A case study emphasizes the diagnostic problems, and the rehabilitation pitfalls for an individual when repeated clinical and legal testing is carried out. Clinical staff with first-hand experience of the trauma and its aftermath working jointly with legal services to promote mutual education of the professions may promote both more pertinent and quicker resolution of compensation |
