At INNEG, we don’t just source experts - we spot opportunities to reduce unrecoverable costs. In this case, we saved the solicitor 50% on expert travel fees without delaying assessment or compromising quality.

The Challenge


A solicitor managing two complex birth injury claims needed home visits from a specialist Paediatric Neurologist in rural Wales. One claimant required assessment urgently due to neurological impairments caused by alleged CTG misinterpretation and delayed escalation during labour. However, the travel quote alone for a single home visit was prohibitively high - posing a serious risk to cost recovery, particularly under CFA terms.


INNEG’s Intervention


Rather than simply arranging the requested expert visit, INNEG took a strategic approach:


  • Identified both birth injury claims were instructed by the same solicitor and required the same expert discipline


  • Liaised directly with the Paediatric Neurology expert’s chambers to propose a dual visit strategy


  • Coordinated both assessments to take place on the same day, consolidating travel requirements


  • Negotiated a shared fee agreement - splitting the travel costs evenly between both claims


  • Managed all logistics, claimant communication, and availability matching to reduce solicitor admin time


The Outcome


  • Travel costs were cut by 50% per case - saving hundreds in unrecoverable fees


  • Both assessments remained on schedule, with no compromise on expert quality or claimant experience


  • The solicitor retained full focus on case preparation, free from the burden of expert coordination


Why It Matters


This wasn’t just a logistical win - it was a commercially smart intervention by a team that understands birth injury litigation and the cost pressures it carries.


By tracking expert usage across claims and proactively identifying efficiencies, INNEG helped protect the solicitor’s cost base, preserve client care timelines, and reduce risk exposure.
