In this series we have focused on the practical application of medical specialists in everyday life and how they are essential to your compensation claim as well as diagnosis and recovery.

An insurance company will obtain evidence from their own doctors and medical specialists to argue you are not as injured as you say you are.
Therefore you can have to very different opinions about a broken back. And you can have two very different opinions about the money value you should receive for loss of earnings and pain and suffering. When it comes time to negotiate a settlement figure, experience, knowledge and a very good lawyer help immensely.
