Expert Witnesses

Many people ask the question how are personal injury claims assessed, well the overall summary to answer that is simple, in most cases expert witnesses are employed to examine the claimant and offer their expert prognosis on their findings.

Everything of course depends on the injuries initially reported, from this the claims handler will then make an initial judgement on the type of expert witnesses that are required to see the client. In the not so distant past many personal injury firms were instructing expert witnesses that were not really appropriate for the type on injury reported, many simply took the view that consultant orthopaedic surgeons were the only type of expert witnesses that need be instructed as they could offer expert prognosis from the simple injury complaints through to broken bone injuries. With bills coming in at over £400 for these types of specialist report, especially for simple whiplash type injuries you can appreciate why the insurance companies were complaining so often about the costs involved.

The reality now is a sensible and diminished focus on the usage of orthopaedics and a much wider scope of instruction of accident and emergency consultants and general practitioners. Costs for these types of reports generally fall between the price ranges of £100 to £350.
