Disbursements are amounts incurred for expenses such as fees for clinical notes, police reports, hospital notes, expert reports and medico-legal reports. These things are necessary to prepare your claim properly and to maximise damages.

Sydney Compensation Specialists will fund disbursements on your behalf in ALL matters, EXCEPT claims where an expert liability report is required. Expert liability reports are sometimes required in cases where liability is very contentious and where there are technical issues which require expert comment. These reports can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $7,000, depending on the report and type of expert required. If your matter requires a liability expert we can make arrangements for the amount to be funded by an external disbursement funding provider. We can discuss this further with you if it is applicable. The majority of claims do not require the use of a liability expert.
