Synopsis

Many people are not aware of the compensation which may be available to them as a result of an injury, whether at work, at play, on the road, from a defective product, or through medical negligence.

This Lawpack Guide is designed for those without any legal training who want to bring or defend their own claim. It explains how the personal injury claims process works, from scenarios out of which claims might arise, to a detailed explanation of court paperwork and procedures. It aims to give you the know-how to analyse your own case and that of the ‘other side’.

In this Lawpack Guide you will find:
Background information and advice on claiming, defences, evidence and on how compensation is calculated.
Detailed instructions on court procedures.
Sample particulars of claim and defences, for commonly-occurring claims.
Glossary of legal terms.

Valid in England and Wales.
