THE FUTURE

Less personal injury work
The ME sector could lose £37 million or could gain £11 million
Rehab will also be hit
Future Market Size depends on the MoJ Options
A reduction in the number of personal injury lawyers
And Brexit adds to the uncertainty
But could making the Rehab Code compulsory save the day?
And could rehabilitation replace financial payouts by insurers?
The introduction of fixed fees, a threat to expert witnesses and
rehabilitation
Expert witnesses will need to become more IT savvy
New opportunities in the occupational health sector
