The 2023 reforms to the Civil Procedure Rules introduced fixed recoverable costs (FRC) and the Intermediate Track for most personal injury claims valued between £25,000 and £100,000. These changes place greater responsibility on solicitors to assess personal injury case complexity early, propose appropriate track and banding, and ensure rehabilitation plans are proportionate and clinically appropriate.
Medicess recognises the impact of these changes. Our Intermediate Track Service is designed specifically to support personal injury solicitors and their clients within the fixed-cost regime.
We provide a free, structured clinical review within 2–3 working days of instruction, designed to support early assessment and planning in personal injury claims falling within the Intermediate Track.
This early medical insight helps:
Our clinical review supports legal teams in developing an informed view prior to submitting the Directions Questionnaire (Form N181). It helps you:
Identify whether a case requires higher banding (e.g., Band 3 or 4)
Support informed pre-action correspondences
Plan future rehabilitation in line with CPR expectations
The fixed recoverable costs (FRC) regime places a premium on early, efficient, and proportionate action. Medicess supports this by:
Delivering an early clinical overview that reduces the need for multiple preliminary assessments, saving time and cost
Supporting compliance with procedural requirements around early issue narrowing, case preparation and rehabilitation planning
From initial instruction, Medicess helps personal injury solicitors:
