How can a forensic accountant help with a personal injury claim?

Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to body, mind or emotions. If the negligence of the other party can be proved , the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation. In England and Wales there are time limitation rules.

Injuries can arise from the results of road traffic accidents, accidents at work and medical negligence. When proceedings are taken to court they require concise reports detailing financial losses.

With the distress of the accident, calculating damages is the least of your worries. This therefore is where where you will need a forensic accountant. They are able to quantify the economic losses resulting from the accident to ensure you receive what is just and fair to you, in the most efficient and cost effective way.

In recent years the use of forensic accountants has substantially increased with our involvement expanding to numerous areas where personal injury cases have arisen.

Issues such as:
- At work accidents
- Clinical and Medical Negligence
- Road traffic accidents
- Pension Losses
- Pension entitlements
- Pension rights where employees are dismissed or made redundant
- Fatal accidents

By utilising our special skills we will ensure the claimant receives what is rightfully owed to them with the least disruption and highest professional standards.
