Medico-Legal Occupational Therapy
Medico-Legal OT for RAF & Personal Injury Claims
Independent OT assessments and reports for Road Accident Fund (RAF), personal injury, and related litigation, focused on function rather than advocacy.
RAF and personal injury matters often turn on functional impact: what the person can do now, how injury affects work and daily living, and what support is reasonably required.
Nelisiwe OT Services provides independent medico-legal occupational therapy assessments for attorneys and related parties in Johannesburg and Gauteng, with clear, evidence-based reporting.
