This week, the National Accident Helpline Group Plc (NAHL) has told how it expects to play a more pro-active role in the conduct and financing of personal injury cases.
Following the next round of government reforms, which we reported on in edition 153 of BC Disease News (click here to read), NAHL told the stock exchange of its plans to expand its role in the handling of PI cases on 21st September 2016.
Steve Halbert, chairman of NAHL, has told the stock exchange that NAHL has ‘purposefully reduced case volumes’ whilst the current uncertainty in the market (caused by the much anticipated outcome of the Ministry of Justice’s consultation paper) is causing law firms to more carefully consider how much they invest in new personal injury cases.
Mr Halbert has said that, in anticipation of the next round of reforms, NAHL is building closer relationships with its panel law firms, which it expects will give them the opportunity to play a more ‘pro-active’ role in the entire conduct and financing of PI cases.
