Medico-Legal Investigation

A medico-legal investigation is a process where medical professionals analyze injuries, body evidence, or biological materials to help determine the cause and circumstances of an injury, death, or suspicious case. It involves examining the body, collecting samples, and documenting findings to assist law enforcement and legal authorities in understanding what happened. This investigation ensures that facts are accurately established for legal proceedings, often helping clarify issues like assault, homicide, or accidents. It combines medical expertise with legal standards to support justice and ensure the truth is uncovered.
