simple and effective...
We are keen therefore to deal with personal injury cases swiftly and with the least amount of fuss. We will strive to have you medically examined by our own consultant within 6 weeks of your first meeting with us. In fact, if the other side accept liability quicker, we will try and arrange your medical sooner. We expect to receive medical reports within a few days in straightforward accidents and within a few weeks where you need to be seen by a specialist consultant. The medical report allows us and the other side's insurers to value the amount of compensation you should receive.
In straightforward road traffic accidents, most clients only see a consultant once. If you have not had a previous accident in the last 3 years, we shouldn't even need to obtain your medical records. In short, straightforward accidents can generally be fully dealt with inside 3 to 6 months.
The more serious accidents that we deal with, sometimes leading to 6 figure settlement offers, will obviously take much longer to deal with. In such circumstances, clients will need to see different consultants who will be able to offer specialist opinion on recovery times and future symptoms. Occasionally, we will instruct other experts such as accountants or housing consultants who will deal with the inevitable issues that arise in accidents where clients are seriously injured
