Personal Injury Litigators and Case Managers
We can provide expert opinion, including Part 35 Expert Reports within personal injury litigation, about the future cost of Court of Protection welfare litigation where the claimant’s mental capacity has been impacted by their injury, and on the claimant’s eligibility for statutory funding. Our expert Community Care lawyers will provide opinion and reports on the sustainability and / or adequacy of the claimant’s current health or social care package. Our reports are used to inform settlement negotiations. If the case doesn’t settle, we can attend the trial as an expert witness to assist the court.
Advice includes a ‘paying for care’ audit regarding statutory funding such as welfare benefits and pension income for your client’s Personal Injury (PI) settlement. This ensures peace of mind in situations where health and social care funding can’t be guaranteed.
