    1. MYTH - You have to go to court to win compensation

    You do not in fact have to

    Examples of combination products may in
    o to court to obtain compensation. Most claims that we deal with are settled out of court and long before any litigation is deemed necessary. Insurers recognise that it is cheaper to settle a case amicable and out of the court process rather than waste money on costs and delays.

    Less than 4% of the claims we deal with ever reach court. Most claims actually conclude wit
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    in 12 months.

    2. MYTH - All solicitors are out to take what they can and there are kickbacks and hidden fees to pay when claiming.

    It would be fair to say that the legal industry does not enjoy particularly good press. According to some observers, solicitors are considered aloof, arrogant, out of touch and out for what they can get. Scare stories about hidden fees and
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    kickbacks abound and it can be hard convincing prospective clients that we are the good guys.

    These really are unfair and outdated views. Solicitors are one of the best regulated professionals in the UK closely monitored by the Law Society. Most reputable personal injury solicitors in England & Wales will deal with your claim without charge under the No win No fee prin
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    Combination pro
    iples adopted through legislation in 1999 / 2000.

    3. MYTH - Compensation claims are complex and time consuming

    This is inaccurate. Most claims (generally involving soft tissue injuries) settle within 8-12 months providing there are no issues on liability. More complex claims where liability is disputed or where there has been a more serious injury inevitably will take
    ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc
    longer to conclude.

    There is some initial inconvenience because in order to start a claim you have to complete some paperwork but thereafter a claimant has very little to do. Your solicitor will take care of the claim from day one and help to minimise any inconvenience.

    Despite what you read elsewhere on less reputable websites there is no easy route or quick fix as f
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    ar as compensation claims are concerned. However a competent lawyer will minimise delay and hassle for their client.

    4. MYTH - Insurers will treat you fairly – who needs a solicitor!

    Most insurers have drastically altered their approach to claims handling in the UK. They are now far more proactive and cooperative than they have ever been and the personal injury protoc
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    l rules which were introduced in 1999 have helped to control the claims process from both the claimant and defendant perspectives.

    Despite this insurers have one aim in mind when negotiating settlement of a claim – to save costs.

    They have departments of specially trained staff who will negotiate the best possible deal that they can for the insurance company. That is
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    hy you need a solicitor to ensure that you receive the right settlement at the right time.

    Don’t lose out on compensation by dealing directly with an insurer. It is an unfair contest with only one victor.

    5. MYTH - Conversely there is a view that compensation is easy – like receiving a blank cheque.

    Only genuine individuals with good cause for making a claim will act
    ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
    ally recover damages. The claims process is not going to provide a route to “easy money”. You will receive only what you have lost out of your own pocket or what you are entitled to receive for the pain and suffering elements.

    6. MYTH - Compensation claims take years to settle

    As stated above, most claims conclude within 8-12 months assuming there are no problems on l
    ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

    Following aspects would a
    ability or with a claimant’s general recovery from the injury sustained.

    7. The “compensation culture” is booming - people will claim for absolutely anything.

    One of the biggest myths of all is that there is a burgeoning compensation culture in the UK and that people really will claim for absolutely anything regardless of whether such a claim might be morally or ethic
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    lly acceptable.

    This is complete nonsense – but don’t just take our word for it. The Which? Consumer Group has this to say on their website “Despite claims that the UK has a 'compensation culture' the total costs of compensation cases in Britain has stayed the same since 1989. Which? believes it is important to tackle such claims, because they can create the impression
    cts are meaningful and rational?
    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
    Do combin
    that it’s wrong to seek redress”.

    The stagnation of claim volumes is primarily a result of the legal profession selecting more rigidly which cases are actually viable and which are clearly not merited. The fact that claims volumes have not risen despite legal marketing initiatives and the growth of the internet, confirms that there is no compensation culture in the UK.

    This does not prevent the odd ridiculous case reaching court or being publicised by the national press.

    8. Claiming against your employer will get you sacked

    Many people injured at work fear losing their jobs if they make a personal injury claim following an accident at work.

    Most employers would not countenance dismissing an injured employee but this cannot be rul
    t?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
    d out in any situation. It would be appropriate to claim for unfair dismissal if any employer sacked an individual for making a claim following an injury sustained in the workplace. The law protects workers in these situations although people employed for less than 12 months may not have the same rights.

    9. You cannot obtain treatment whilst in the middle of making a c
    ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

    aim

    Most insurers now look at claims in a more proactive manner and may arrange to rehabilitate injured parties during key stages of the recovery process. Whiplash physiotherapy for example is now readily available once liability has been assessed.

    Receiving early treatment can be a huge advantage promoting a more complete and timely recovery.

    10. The law protects th
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
    big companies and large employers – the small man never wins.

    Fortunately the opposite is true. The laws that we have in the UK are amongst the most compassionate and considerate in the civilised world (a rather dramatic statement but accurate nevertheless). The public are well protected with laws governing the state and maintenance of our highways, the use of vehicle
    .

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
    or other machinery, health & safety at work or regarding the public generally and much much more.

    The law protects both the individual and the organisations. Free legal advice on virtually any issue is now available to all and the public have far more powers of legal redress than they have ever previously enjoyed.
