Abstract
The assessment of the condition prior to the traumatism by the expert is one of the main point of the medico-legal expertise and also one of most difficult. The aim of the report is to inform the settler, magistrate or insurance company, in a field in which he is not competent. He will have particularly to precise what has been the simultaneous evolution of the condition prior to the traumatism and of the traumatism. The consequences will be different according to the legislation.
