Settlement Review Service

Clinical clarity when settlement is considered before recovery is fully understood

In serious injury claims, settlement discussions are often informed by rehabilitation reports.

Where recovery is still evolving, these reports may not provide a complete picture of long-term recovery or future treatment needs.

The Settlement Review Service provides a doctor-led assessment of recovery stability and any remaining clinical uncertainty when settlement timing is being considered.

Clinical uncertainty when settlement is considered

Rehabilitation reports may reflect a temporary stage of recovery rather than a final outcome:

If settlement is reached at this stage, it may be based on a recovery position that continues to evolve.

What is Settlement Review?

A clinician-led report that asks one question:

What does the available clinical evidence indicate about recovery stability at the point settlement is being considered?

The review considers:

The review evaluates the clinical implications of settlement timing based on the available rehabilitation evidence.

Settlement Review will be appropriate where:

Settlement is proposed before medical evidence is available

Rehabilitation reports are relied upon to justify early settlement

Recovery is ongoing and further treatment is recommended

Clinical clarity is needed when settlement timing is being considered

How Settlement Review Supports Decision-Making

The review provides:

It clarifies whether settlement timing aligns with the claimant’s current clinical recovery.

How the Review is Prepared

The review is prepared using the same clinical documents relied upon in settlement discussions, typically:

No additional case information is introduced. This ensures the review addresses clinical readiness for settlement, rather than claim valuation.
