Intermediate Track Service

Intermediate Track in Personal Injury Claims

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 both proportionate and justified.

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.
