Common in cases of clinical negligence, causation reports take into account how an injury or illness was sustained and the impact of the actions taken, as well as the nature and extent of the injury, loss or damage sustained by the individual.

A causation report might include an exploration of the care or interventions an individual should have received for the best outcome, what led up to the event and what should have prevented this from occurring. It will also include a detailed overview of an individual’s current presentation.
