A recommendation to seek a medical re-examination produces a much-improved compensation offer
"Our client attended a medical examination following a road traffic accident. The examination took place with an Orthopaedic Consultant who advised that my client was likely to recover within a time period of 12 months from the date of the accident. The insurers of the other party initially made an offer of settlement in the sum of £2000 that was rejected by my client on the basis that he continued to suffer pain in the neck and back some 18 months following the accident.
I wrote to the expert who clarified that this time scale was reasonable given the nature of the accident. Our client wished to rely upon this medical evidence however I strongly advised him to attend a re-examination in order to fully investigate his symptoms before considering settlement of his claim. He attended a re-examination and the second medical report highlighted that the accident had accelerated the onset of back pain by a period of 7 years. The medical report was disclosed to the insurers and I have currently negotiated an offer of £6000 that again has been rejected upon my advice and negotiation continues with the insurers of the other party."
