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.

Benefits to Solicitors

Pre-Action Support

Our clinical review equips legal teams with the clarity needed before submitting the Directions Questionnaire (Form N181). It helps you:

Identify whether a case requires higher banding (e.g., Band 3 or 4)
Present informed views in pre-action correspondence with defendants
Plan future rehabilitation in line with CPR expectations

Built for the Fixed Recoverable Costs

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
Helping legal teams comply with procedural requirements around early issue narrowing, case preparation, and justification for rehabilitation
Supporting communication with defendants and insurers with clinically credible reports that promote early engagement
