This Is to help people who may have difficulty with the Covid 19 situation getting Medical Appointments to prepare Medical Reports.

Am I As Well to Accept an Offer Made by an Insurance Company without going through the Injury Board application process?
All insurance companies seek to settle claims at the least expense to them. The Injury Board are an independent assessment body set up by the government to fairly estimate the compensation value of any particular injury. The injury board in our opinion must offer more money than insurance companies are prepared to pay otherwise there is no reason for them to exist. We always recommend waiting for the injury board to assess the value of the injury before deciding whether to accept it. It is generally an amount above what is offered by an insurance company.
