An Introduction To Tessa Gough Associates

Tessa Gough Associates differs from other specialist providers of expert witness reports, rehabilitation, and care management services to the personal injury sector in a number of ways.

Our historic company foundation has seen growth develop from its initial roots, from the original owner, who, having come from a nursing background, had in-depth and first-hand knowledge and experience of providing care for those in need.

Inspired by her vision to offer high quality, exceptional reports, and case management services, Tessa Gough’s own personal backstory involved time spent as an RGN, followed by the pursuing of an expert witness career. Those experiences ultimately led to the development of Tessa Gough Associates. Today we continue to be instructed and are widely regarded within the industry in recognition of its management of high-value catastrophic personal injury and clinical negligence claims.

Historic Experiences and Innate Focus on Complex Clinical Negligence Cases

Some 34 years in the making, the company ethos remains firmly grounded in the provision of clinical prowess and accomplished nursing principles. These standards continue to reflect the passage of three decades in which Tessa Gough Associates have sought to revolutionise this sector.

Tessa Gough Associates differ from the accepted norm within high-value personal injury claims and clinical negligence field by our unsurpassed diligent and evidenced-led formulation of report preparation. Our team specialises in preparing both quantum and liability reports in the area of clinical negligence, with particular emphasis on acquired/traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputee, and injuries sustained at birth along with other complex cases.

The quality of our reports is best illustrated by the depth and breadth of our subject areas with an average of 75 pages dedicated to collating the absolute and necessary details of individual cases. Our associates also invest a significant amount of time to both consider findings and subsequently create reports, spending in the region of 4 – 6 weeks immersed in each case.

Expert Witnesses Who Inspire Confidence

Our strength doesn’t just lie in the depth of our reports, but intrinsically in the experienced range of expert witnesses who form our professional clinical panel. Tessa Gough Associates have an ensemble of ‘associates’ who continue with their own professional development both personally and through our own in-house associate days.

From nurses, occupational therapists and advanced nursing practitioners, to health visitors and mental health advocates, our associates’ CV’s extend to a sizable scope of clinical expertise. Their independent and impartial opinion is invaluable when it comes to delivering our service provisions.
