The value of the claims will range from Small Claims track up to claims totalling £100,000.00 inclusive of costs and disbursements. The claims that are received are usually for both special and general damages. We deal with liability and quantum dispute instructions for both commercial and domestic policyholders. We also deal with causation, credit hire, infant claims and indemnity issues.

This work would be undertaken in close collaboration with Client staff and working on Client systems as well as attending the Client office. Where required, the caseload could include pre-litigation files. As we deal with injury claims we review medical report and records and provide quantum advice. We have daily administrative tasks such as dealing with incoming post and filing and we use a case management system in order to proactively manage our caseload.
