Written rationales for the Court to identify why expert employment information is needed in a particular case. Our employability and earnings reports in personal injury and clinical negligence cases are individually prepared, and our professional opinion is supported by thorough research. Unemployment, vacancy and earnings information is included as part of a comprehensive labour market evaluation. Claimants are usually interviewed. If this is not possible, a questionnaire is used, or a paper based review is undertaken.
Reports are normally available within two to four weeks of instruction.
In urgent cases this time scale can be reduced. In some cases a full expert witness service may not be proportionate to the claim, or allowed by the Court. However, you will still require accurate information on earnings and employment issues. Information is usually supplied within 5 days. Our clients use these in lower value claims, and to supplement evidence in higher value claims.
