Why it’s a smart choice to partner with the best

If you were injured as a road user during the pandemic, you may have had difficulties in travelling to areas where experts could assess you. You are certainly not alone in this, with many claimants experiencing similar obstacles. This impacted numerous practices and caused a waiting list of claimants and a backlog in the finalisation of matters.

As a result, there was a need to make things easier for everyone involved.

An ultimate turnkey solution for both the Medico-Legal Industry and Insurance Industry was created.

This Medico-Legal and Insurance Hub is a centralised workspace where you as an RAF or Insurance Claimant can be assessed by multiple experts, in one space, in a very short space of time (only over a day or two). This way, you can be attended to by the relevant experts under one roof for all the assessments.

It is considerably more convenient and cost-saving for the claimants and experts and ensures that you will be assessed by qualified experts in a safe, professional manner by a multi-disciplinary panel of experts.

What is Smart Expert?

Smart Expert is a hub of offices that are specifically tailored for mobile experts. Gert Nel Inc. and other personal injury lawyers use Smart Expert to help their clientele access the professional support that they require when it comes to medical and insurance claiming assistance.

There are Interview rooms, consultation rooms with plinths and BP machines and fully-equipped Occupational Therapy rooms, boardrooms for meetings or training/workshops, parking and lockers for the travelling expert and an Office Host to coordinate bookings and claimants. This ultimately means that experts can be fully catered for, won’t have to pay their own setup or operational cost and will not need to bring their own equipment.

Get Nel Inc was given access to the Smart Expert booking system which allows our staff to make appointments at any of the four Medico-legal Hubs, really convenient in ensuring a space is booked for our claimant assessments..

The Office Host welcomes all claimants upon arrival, and assists the experts in getting all relevant forms completed before their assessments. This saves significant time for the expert, leaving them with more time to focus on their assessments and report writing. The Office Host also ensures that all experts appointed sees the claimant on that day, essentially taking over many of the administrative and logistic duties of the Expert and us, the Attorneys.

How does Smart Expert help?

You can appreciate that this centralisation consolidates and speeds up the process – and travel and accommodation for claimants are significantly reduced. This will also create less anxiety and frustration for you, as you won’t need to travel far, travel to more than one unknown office to see experts or be away from home for long.

Ingrid Kleynhans Wagner, CEO and founder of Smart Expert, once said, “I look forward to creating a workspace that each expert would want to be part of.”

Gert Nel Inc. had the desire to work in a workspace that made us feel valued as experts in the field of Personal Injury Claims, whilst giving the claimant a dignified space to be assessed at.

Ingrid’s quote not only resonated with us, but we have found the service has delivered far beyond our expectations.

You will be pleased to know that the difficulties that previously existed around personal injuries have been addressed with the invention of Smart Expert hubs.
