Hi hope you can help.

Over the weekend I have received a letter from a local solicitor requesting I provide my cv and fee structure. He is handling an injury claim for an 14 year old . She has been diagnosed with Severs but she is being refered to a constultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon for expert opinion as "it is very rare to contract that disease on the basis of a single injury and that the scans and xrays do not support this diagnosis" - their words not mine!
My question is,
a. do I only provide what I have been asked for ie my cv and fee structure,
or do I
b. also comment on the Severs diagnosis, ie that severs can be as a result of single trauma, and that Sever's disease diagnosis cannot be made with any certainty on radiographic evidence alone (Merriman and Turner).
and
c. include an invoice for the time taken to reply and compile a current cv (given that as I'm in private practice I don't have one as I'm not looking for employment elsewhere).
and lastly
d. if I do eventually see the client, (as I have never had a client with Severs before), what should I be looking for, and what treatment should I be looking at providing? My initial idea would be insoles that would provide some sort of cushioning under the calcaneum.
Your thoughts on the above would be much appreciated.
