Overview

As personal injury law has increasingly become a self-contained specialist area, there has been a corresponding need for a book that covers the full range of daily practice in a single volume. Compensation for Personal Injuries is a uniquely convenient and reliable reference work, providing clear summaries of the law and easy access to the key relevant cases, practice rules, statutes and materials. Each of the 64 chapters begins with a concise account of the main points of law followed by the relevant source material, annotated with case references and finer details. The chapters are grouped into the following sections: * Introduction (chapters 1-2) * Liability: General Principles (chapters 3-7) * Liability: Particular Cases (chapters 8-22) * Injuries (chapters 23-25) * Assessment of Damages (chapters 26-42) * Practice (chapters 43-64) The book also includes: * All relevant statutory texts * Relevant parts of the key Health and Safety Regulations * Full text of the JSB Guidelines * Extracts from the Ogden Tables * The CICA 2001 scheme and MIB agreements * The CPR presented topic-by-topic * Legal and medical glossaries * Anatomical illustrations Whether concerned mainly with claimants or defendants, users of this book can rely on it as a sure guide in the complex area of personal injury law and practice. A website, maintained by the author and dedicated to developments in this area of the law, will keep the book up-to-date between editions (www.barrieoncompensation.co.uk).
