Personalised Service
Accepting instructions on behalf of Claimants and Defendants, our Associates deliver expert opinion that is fully compliant with Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules.
Our clinicians, who are experts in their fields, are able to report on the following services. We provide a bespoke enquiry service to match the most appropriate expert to each claim:
We offer Quantum reports with the scope of:
Our experts carry out detailed assessments of the claimant and comprehensive reviews of evidence to make objective and justified costing recommendations to assist the Court. This provides thorough calculations and reasonings based on the medical evidence.
Our associates are mindful and have regard to the re-traumatisation of Claimants when assessing. They carry out a detailed assessment with the family and/ or dependants to make reasoned costings for the services that the deceased would reasonably have provided in the past and future, taking into account the evidence and detail from their assessment.
We accept instructions to review the relevant evidence and prepare a desktop, short form report with costings, on urgent timescales.
We will require any pleadings, medical reports, and witness statements, where available, to enable us to cost the likely requisite care in a case where there is insufficient time or any other reason preventing an assessment.
The reports are much shorter and less costly.
Our short form reports are intended for advisory purposes only and should not be disclosed as they are not CPR Compliant. Any opinion and advice is based on the limited evidence made available at the time of instruction. Our experts therefore reserve the right to alter their opinion in the event that further evidence is made available to them.
Our experts have received legal training and understand their CPR-Part 35 duties in relation to Breach of Duty claims. They are familiar with the legal principles of Bolam and Bolitho and keep these tests in mind when making their recommendations on liability and causation.
We offer:
Our Breach of Duty experts have extensive and up to date clinical experience in their field of expertise.
