We understand the requirements of all parties involved in processing a claim. Most of our reports are for joint instructions. A main concern for all parties is that any report should be totally objective . Swift Medical Services has always upheld this principle and produces ' reports for the court '. Experts are not advised how the case has been sourced and they are always instructed to provide a balanced and objective report.
All reports are proof-read and audited according to our quality control protocol.
In addition to our own quality assurance systems, our lists are checked periodically by a major insurer to alert us to any non-preferred experts. All claimants receive our 'Do Not Exaggerate' form prior to their medical assessment. This clearly explains that the expert they are seeing is independent and does not represent them. They are asked to provide an honest account and are required to sign a form to this effect, prior to being seen. As doctors, we can ensure that experts are selected according to experience relevant to the claimant's case.
