The Art of the Schedule of Loss - Maximising Recovery in Serious Injury Claims

Introduction

A well-drafted Schedule of Loss is far more than a spreadsheet of figures. It is one of the most persuasive documents in any serious injury or clinical negligence claim. It tells the claimant's story, explains how their life has changed and provides the evidential foundation for recovering substantial compensation.

In high-value litigation, a Schedule of Loss can often determine the direction of negotiations and the outcome of Joint Settlement Meetings and trials. Yet many schedules overlook valuable heads of loss, fail to gather the necessary supporting evidence or miss opportunities to maximise recovery.

This webinar is designed for serious injury practitioners who want to strengthen their quantum skills and prepare robust, evidence-based Schedules of Loss. Using real-life examples, the webinar will explore how to identify recoverable losses, build the evidence required to support them and present claims in a clear, persuasive and commercially effective way.
