I completely understand that the State Claims Agency must look at each claim. When the agency is looking at a catastrophic injury where 24-7 care will be required, an actuarial assessment would be done. Am I right to assume that such an assessment is available to solicitors taking cases on behalf of people who are making claims and that they can see it?
