A seminar for anyone involved in bodily injury claims - from the authors of the widely acclaimed study ‘Psychology, Personal Injury and Rehabilitation’
• Psychological factors can delay recovery from injury significantly or even permanently.
• Around three in ten personal injury claims are aggravated by psychological/social factors.
• There is a need to develop a co-ordinated, person-centred approach to optimise recovery
and control costs.
• Insurers, lawyers, unions and employers can help tackle many barriers to recovery.
• Individuals who fail to recover as expected need careful timely assessment.
• More sophisticated claims-management techniques and profiling tools are required to optimise this process.
‘Psychology, Personal Injury and Rehabilitation’ was published in July 2004 by the IUA-ABI Rehabilitation Working Party. Its authors
include many eminent medical, legal and claims specialists.

In July, a report from the Rehabilitation Working Party questioned many of the assumptions often made by insurers and lawyers. It found that in up to 30% of personal injury cases psychological factors can play a significant part in aggravating the physical symptoms. The effects can become so severe that apparently minor injuries develop debilitating long-term consequences. At the very least, it is important for all involved to be alert to the psychological dimension.
For insurers, benefits include greater ability to respond instead when psychological problems emerge, making it possible to minimise their effects on the claimant and so influence the final settlement. For claimant lawyers, the report provides information that will be valuable to them in assisting their clients to make the best possible recovery and to reduce the chances of physical and psychological relapse.
This seminar builds on the study, with many practical lessons from professionals who have experience of
dealing with the psychological effects of injury.
It ends with a debate on action points for the future.
Delegates will receive a free copy of the report.
