Personal Injury claims

The cost of resolving personal injury claims increases year on year. Whilst organisations can insure against some of these costs, premiums are rising and the majority of claims fall within self-insured policy excesses. Not only this but also the hidden uninsured costs of managing a claim can amount to anything between two and eight times the size of the direct costs.    

It is therefore clear that the funding of personal injury claims is a significant drain on resources that makes it essential for organisations to have a robust, fast and effective personal injury claims management function. 

MCM Associates' considered view is that the majority of personal injury claims management should take place in-house. Such management contains damages and costs and reduces the administrative burden and delays associated with supporting off-site claims adjusters and/or external lawyers. MCM Associates specialise in the provision of the training and support services necessary to facilitate in-house management. 

MCM Associates' flexible and innovative personal injury claims management services are carefuly tailored to your organisation's needs. Early and thorough investigations ensure the swift collation of factual information and documentation that enables early defensibility decisions to be made. Innovative and practical resolutions coupled with a pro-active and non-adversarial approach lead to faster resolution, reduced settlement values and reduced costs.

MCM Associates' experience of personal injury claims enables us to provide organisations with risk management advice to assist in avoiding claims in the future. We also recognise that early rehabilitation action should be at the heart of any robust claims managment process and MCM Associates therefore work with organisations to introduce systems to ensure that action is taken to resolve injuries and return employees to work at the earliest opportunity.
