The complexities of securing positions for personal injury and clinical negligence cases are a headache. As solicitors and deputies navigate the changing landscape of funding, it’s essential to know that flexible solutions exist. At Anna Edwards Case Management, I offer INA reports on a deferred basis—an arrangement that can be a game-changer when funds are yet to be secured from the defendant.
Working within the 3HUB community, I have access to a network of rehabilitation suppliers and support packages, all of whom are able to offer their expertise and services on a deferred basis as well. This allows me to provide comprehensive support for clients while ensuring that they receive the care and therapy they need as soon as possible, even when funding is pending.
The Challenges and Opportunities
I fully recognise the pressures that solicitors and deputies face when managing cases where funding has not yet been secured. Delays in securing funds can leave clients in limbo, without the essential services they need to recover and rehabilitate. This is where my approach can help.
Case management on a deferred basis ensures that the client’s immediate needs are assessed, and appropriate services are put in place without the financial burden falling solely on the client or the legal team. This flexible model allows solicitors to begin the case management process with no immediate financial commitment, while still ensuring that the client is receiving the care and rehabilitation they deserve.
When a case is managed on a deferred basis, the initial step is to conduct an Immediate Needs Assessment (INA). This assessment will provide a thorough evaluation of the client’s condition, including their physical, psychological, and practical needs. With this information, I can work with solicitors to outline a detailed care plan, ensuring that the client receives the right support at the right time.
Through the 3HUB community, I have direct access to a range of rehabilitation specialists and suppliers who can provide services on a deferred basis. From physiotherapists to neuropsychologists, I can coordinate a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation that can begin immediately, with no upfront costs required. These providers are familiar with the process of working on a deferred payment structure, and their expertise ensures that the client receives high-quality care.
Safeguards and Governance Support
One of the key concerns for solicitors when considering case management on a deferred basis is the management of funds and ensuring costs are kept reasonable. I offer transparent and controlled financial management, with safeguards in place to ensure that funds are used appropriately.
By working within the 3HUB community, I have governance support that ensures all services and costs are well-documented, justified, and in line with industry standards. I understand the importance of cost control and work closely with solicitors to ensure that any funding secured is carefully managed throughout the case.
My approach is to maintain close oversight of all services provided, ensuring that costs remain reasonable while still delivering high-quality care. Regular reports are provided to solicitors, ensuring that all services are accounted for and that clients receive the appropriate level of care as the case progresses.
Tailored, Flexible, and Professional Support
At Anna Edwards Case Management, I understand the challenges solicitors and deputies face in securing funding for clients who need urgent rehabilitation. My deferred case management model provides a practical, flexible solution that allows clients to receive the support they need while waiting for funding to be secured. Through my collaboration with the 3HUB community, I can offer a range of rehabilitation and therapy services on a deferred basis, ensuring comprehensive care is provided without delay.
