About Maggie Sargent & Associates
About Maggie Sargent & Associates
For nearly four decades, Maggie Sargent & Associates has set the standard for expert witness provision in UK medico-legal practice. We are an independent, family-run practice founded in 1986 by Maggie and John Sargent, and we are trusted by leading personal injury and clinical negligence solicitors throughout the UK, as well as by medical agencies, foreign government agencies, and government bodies including CICA.
Our panel of over 120 expert witnesses are among the most experienced clinicians in their fields. They provide quantum and liability reports across more than 80 clinical specialisms, from brain injury and spinal care to midwifery, mental health, and complex paediatric nursing. Every report we produce is objective, independent, robust, and fully CPR Part 35 compliant.
Award-Winning Excellence
Our commitment to quality has been recognised at the highest levels of the legal and medico-legal professions:
-Medico-Legal Provider of the Year, Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025
-Honorary Fellowship of BABICM awarded to Founder Maggie Sargent, 2025
-Medico-Legal Provider of the Year, Legal Awards 2017
-Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Maggie Sargent, Legal Awards 2017
These honours reflect not just the quality of individual reports, but the culture of continuous improvement, clinical integrity, and genuine independence that has defined this practice since its founding.
Our Approach
We understand that every case represents a real person whose life has been changed, often profoundly. That responsibility drives everything we do. Our experts are selected not only for their clinical credentials but for their ability to provide clear, authoritative, and impartial evidence that holds up to the most rigorous scrutiny in conferences, joint statements, and court.
Maggie personally leads our training and quality assurance programme, supporting each associate through tailored seminars, a structured mentoring scheme, and regular clinical focus sessions. It is this investment in our people that ensures the consistency and reliability our instructing solicitors depend on.
Our Experts
Specialists across more than 80 clinical disciplines, including brain injury, neurorehab, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, midwifery, paediatrics, mental health, and many more- we are well placed to meet the needs of even the most complex cases. Our associates are based throughout the UK and Ireland, and we regularly accept instructions on international cases.
Whether you are a claimant or defendant solicitor, a case manager, or a government agency, you can instruct us with confidence- knowing that the report you receive will be meticulous, independent, and built to the highest professional standards.
