In proceedings concerning bodily injury, the defence must examine both the alleged conduct and the extent of its consequences. Carlos Cuadrado Gómez-Serranillos provides legal representation in cases involving serious injuries and violent acts, with attention to reconstruction of the incident, the means used and forensic medical records. The review connects evidence about what happened with reports on the harm caused, to prepare a strategy suited to each client's position in the proceedings.
Discuss my case
The analysis begins with the statements, images and available case material to establish the involvement attributed to the client. The sequence of the incident is compared with the medical findings and the documented progression of the injuries. The work distinguishes observed information from interpretations based on it and identifies points requiring clarification during the investigation or trial.
Legal preparation examines the classification of the alleged conduct, involvement, relevant circumstances and the civil compensation sought. Where several people are involved or accounts differ, the allegations are organised individually. If the dispute requires technical knowledge, the question requiring an expert answer is defined, and preparation is made for the professional who will explain the mechanism or consequences of the injury.
Part of the work involves following the progression of the injury through dated records: initial treatment, imaging, procedures, rehabilitation and later reports. This sequence establishes when each finding is described and what explanation is given for its relationship to the events. The work also examines whether the claim properly distinguishes temporary consequences from lasting effects. The defence uses this material to prepare questions about causation, the extent of the harm and the basis for the amounts sought.
Examination of the relationship drawn in the reports between the alleged mechanism and the documented findings. The location and progression of injuries and the explanations offered are reviewed to identify questions for the experts that may clarify the scope of their conclusions in the proceedings.
Comparison of statements, recordings and other material describing the involvement of the people concerned. The defence defines the acts attributed to the client and examines how they are connected to the outcome, preparing the investigative requests and questions needed to address that allegation individually.
Review of the records supporting lasting effects, recovery periods and the amounts claimed. The work organises the disputed heads of loss and their supporting documents to prepare the client's legal position and any technical clarification needed about the consequences of the incident.
Selection and organisation of relevant documents, preparation of witness questions and examination of the matters requiring clarification in court. The purpose of each step is explained to the client, and the available procedural options are considered in light of the case file and the stage of the proceedings.
A dispute about an injury may focus on how it occurred or the consequences attributed to it. Medical and criminological education allows these questions to be prepared as part of the defence.
The Master's in Assessment of Bodily Injury and Medical Expert Evidence from the University of Barcelona provides education in understanding records concerning progression, limitations and lasting effects, and in identifying the technical basis supporting the claim made.
Qualifications and professional backgroundEducation in Medicine and Surgery, with a qualification legalised in Spain, and previous teaching in Legal and Forensic Medicine at Universidad Francisco de Vitoria form part of a background related to examining and presenting medico-legal questions.
Qualifications and professional backgroundThe Degree in Criminology from Universidad Isabel I, with a specialisation in Crime Scene Investigation, provides a perspective for organising scenes, sequences and allegations of involvement. Its application centres on comparing the specific items included in the case file.
Qualifications and professional backgroundThe legal analysis connects these records with the client's position. Any expert assessment or quantification required is agreed under a separate engagement, with defined authorship and terms.
In an illustrative scenario, a recording shows an incident involving several people and the medical records describe a fracture, a procedure and a subsequent limitation. The defence would examine which actions can be seen in the footage, to whom they are attributed and how the reports connect each consequence with the incident. Dates of treatment and progression would also be organised to prepare the necessary points for clarification.
The expression identifies the area of legal practice, but the legal classification depends on the facts and their consequences. Articles 147 to 150 of the Spanish Criminal Code cover different circumstances. The defence examines the injury caused, the means used and the specific circumstances relied on.
The engagement may include an examination of the heads of civil liability and the records supporting them. Reports and the items claimed are reviewed to prepare submissions and, where appropriate, define the involvement of an independent expert to explain the disputed technical issues.
When the work is defined, it is established whether it covers both the criminal allegation and the civil liability claimed within the proceedings. The heads of loss, the reports supporting them and the involvement of affected organisations or individuals are reviewed. Any expert work that may be needed is expressly quoted and arranged, so the client knows what each part of the work includes.
The assessment begins with the trial date, the available case records and the issues already raised in the parties' written submissions. This review establishes the outstanding work and allows possible involvement to be defined. If representation is taken on, the transfer of documents and professional coordination are arranged, with particular attention to preparing witness questions and technical evidence.
