[FONT=Courier New, serif]I was just looking for some advice for DH[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New, serif]He had an injury back in early 2008 where his wrist was crushed at work. After three years of medical reviews by an orthopaedic specialist, it is deemed his pain and restricted movement is permanent and nothing can be done.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New, serif]The PI solicitor started court proceedings a few months ago as it was coming up to three year deadline. DH is expecting about £30,000 in compensation but then he got a letter from the solicitor saying the orthopaedic expert said he is deemed disabled since his accident under the terms of the Ogden 6 Criteria.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New, serif]He lost his job after injury and is now working in a job with £5000 pa net less income as he cannot do manual work any more. When I looked into Ogden 6 for him and put his details in an online PI calculator, his future loss of earnings came out at over £200k. [/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New, serif]He does not expect this to happen, but he wanted to know if, going on the info given, the solicitor will use Ogden tables to calculate damages.[/FONT]

why not ask them?Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
