Loss of Income

Loss of Earnings - Overview

Loss of Earnings help to accurately identify an appropriate loss for the Claimant and forms a significant part of the overall claim process, greatly influencing how much settlement they’ll receive. At Frenkel Topping, unlike forensic accountants, all of our financial advisers are qualified and authorised under the FCA to give pensions advice. We also have 30 years’ experience dealing with complex promotional prospects in earnings and have handled a wide range of career paths and sectors previously.

Pension Loss helps the Claimant receive the damages that they are entitled to.

Unlike most other methodologies, the Frenkel Topping methodology means you get consistency across all pensions including private sector, public sector, loss of dependency and lost years.

  • Index linked
  • Inflation-proof
  • Guaranteed
  • Funded by the Defendant

Independent Financial Guidance at Settlement

Trust for Minors

Overview

A Trust for Minors report enables a minor’s money to be moved out of court, where it can be invested with improved interest rates. The report gives the Client access to bespoke investment advice based on their unique needs and circumstances and is a more accessible option than money being held by the court funds, which can be risky and hard to retrieve.

Features

  • The report provided at pre-settlement discloses advantages and disadvantages of a TFM vs PI Trust
  • Option to create a cash flow model to view how different options may affect the Client’s circumstances

Frenkel Topping has supervised a number of pension loss reports on our higher-value cases, and substantially increased the value each time. The reports are carefully researched and clearly presented, so the client is fully informed as to the best options available to them. They write each report in a bespoke manner, tailored to each client, which is crucial when dealing with complex cases, and use a combination of their expertise and latest technology to assess each claim on an individual basis.
