Personal Injury Law

Now in its second edition, "Personal Injury Law: Liability, Compensation and Procedure" (previously known as "Compensation for Personal Injuries" in the 1st edition) is a uniquely convenient and reliable reference work, providing clear summaries of the law, and easy access to the key relevant claims, practice rules, statutes and materials across the whole range of modern personal injury practice. This edition has been fully updated and covers a number of new cases, along with more practical advice. 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 book also includes: all relevant statutory texts; relevant parts of the key Health and Safety Regulations; full text of the 2004 "JSB Guidelines"; extracts from the Ogden Tables; the CICA scheme and MIB agreements; legal and medical glossaries; and 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 companion website dedicated to developments in this area of the law, will keep the book up-to-date.
