Post-Traumatic Anosmia · Medico-Legal Support
When an injury takes away the sense of smell, we build the record that proves it.
The Smell Expert pairs standardized olfactory testing with a full ENT evaluation, turning a hard-to-see injury into clear, defensible evidence — for adjusters, opposing counsel, and juries alike.
Exhibit A
Post-traumatic anosmia is a real, measurable injury.
Loss of smell after head trauma is easy to dismiss on paper and hard to live with in practice. It carries clinical risk, safety risk, and financial consequence — all of which can be documented.
Clinical impact
- Increased risk of depression (6–8×)
- Safety risks — gas, smoke, spoiled food go undetected
- Loss of taste and its social impact
- Reduced earning capacity in smell-dependent work
Objective methodology
- Standardized olfactory testing (UPSIT)
- Full ENT examination
- Injury correlation analysis
- Functional & quality-of-life assessment
