A new expert witness service specializing in arts therapy, launched by Chroma, a prominent provider of arts therapies in the UK, has garnered praise from personal injury lawyers and case managers. This innovative service, introduced in February, marks the UK's inaugural creative arts therapies (CATs) expert witness service. Personal injury lawyers are eager to utilize this service, recognizing its potential benefits.
The service's primary objective is to facilitate the attainment of optimal rehabilitation packages for clients. By offering independent expert witness testimony, it assists legal teams in presenting compelling cases for the integration of CATs into rehabilitation programs. These therapies are shown to enhance clients' quality of life by addressing functional, cognitive, and psychological needs when incorporated alongside other therapies such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy.
CATs encompass various modalities including music, art, and dramatherapy, tailored to individual client goals to achieve the best outcomes. Given their increasing use in rehabilitation programs, the demand for expert witness evidence in cases where CATs are a significant cost factor has risen.
Dr. Corene P Hurt-Thaut PhD MT-BC, the keynote speaker at the launch event, emphasized the importance of neurologic music therapy for clients. Attendees, including solicitors from firms such as Irwin Mitchell, Higgs LLP, CL Medilaw, and Slater & Gordon, appreciated the insights provided.
The launch also featured the introduction of ALLDOQ, a specialized medico-legal workspace adopted by Chroma. This platform ensures secure storage, organization, and completion of medico-legal work, streamlining processes for expert witnesses and legal professionals alike.
Daniel Thomas, Managing Director of Chroma, described the launch as successful, with attendees expressing interest in improving their clients' quality of life. The adoption of ALLDOQ was particularly well-received for its efficiency and security in managing client data and providing cost-effective expert witness services.
