Merits and quantum
Two broad parts of a claim: merits deal with liability or who is legally responsible, while quantum deals with the amount or value of the claim.
Definition
In a RAF or personal-injury matter, merits and quantum should be prepared separately. Merits records can include accident reports, police documents, witness statements, photos, vehicle information, and liability correspondence. Quantum records can include medical records, invoices, income proof, expert reports, future care information, and loss calculations. Both sides need evidence before settlement or litigation decisions are realistic.
