Personal Injury (Practice Notes)

"Personal Injury" provides an introduction to the practical handling of personal injury cases and leads you through the procedure of bringing a claim to court. Areas covered include damages and interest, investigating the claim, starting proceedings, and drafting pleadings. Advice is offered on directions and discovery, and preparing for trial, with hints on evidence, financing the case and the early conclusion of cases. The practicalities of financing the case are looked at in the light of the Green Form and ACAS schemes, Legal Aid, and the general principals of costs, as well as costs and the MBI and CICB. It provides practical day-to-day advice for the non-specialist practitioner, lists damages and interest and aids comprehension with the use of flow charts, checklists and precedents. Non-specialist litigation solicitors, articled clerks, legal executives and civil litigation Law Society finals students should all find the book of value.
