Fees and Payment Terms

A typical Personal Injury report is charged at £275 depending on the volume of records and the complexity of issues to be addressed. For poly trauma cases and cases which require review of voluminous medical records (500 + pages/more than 1 standard lever arch folder), the fee will be higher. Please contact us prior to instruction if you have a case which you feel may exceed the basic fee and we will provide you with a quotation. We will notify the instructing party if we receive an instruction which we feel will exceed the basic fee.

A typical Medical Negligence Report is likely to be higher in the region of £750-£1250, with screening reports available at a lower fee depending on complexity.

Mr McCabe’s fees are otherwise based upon an hourly rate of £250 in respect of any further time spent in the preparation of the report and any other qualifying work, including Addendum/Supplementary reports, Further comments, Response to Part 35 questions, Joint Statement and Conference with Counsel.

Failure to attend an appointment or cancellation of an appointment with less than 48hrs notice will result in a DNA/cancellation charge of £50.

All fees are subject to VAT at the present rate. Value Added Tax Registration No: 947 7493 65

Mr McCabe’s fees remain payable in full by the instructing party, regardless of assessment or taxation by Court and are not dependent upon the successful outcome of the case.

Invoices are payable within 90 days of dispatch regardless of how the case is funded, unless Mr McCabe has a prior written agreement with your firm/agency. Payment by the instructing party is not contingent upon the contents of, or opinions expressed within, the report.

Failure to settle an invoice within 90 days may result in interest being charged and Mr McCabe reserves the right to cease further work on a case until full settlement of the invoice has been arranged and any accrued interest paid.
