Download or read book Damages and Compensation Culture written by Eoin Quill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of the essays in this book is on the relationship between compensation culture, social values and tort damages for personal injuries. A central concern of the public and political perception of personal injuries claims is the high cost of tort claims to society, reflected in insurance premiums, often accompanied by an assumption that tort law and practice is flawed and improperly raising such costs. The aims of this collection are to first clarify the relationship between tort damages for personal injuries and the social values that the law seeks to reflect and to balance, then to critically assess tort reforms, including both proposals for reform and actual implemented reforms, in light of how they advance or hinder those values. Reforms of substantive and procedural law in respect of personal injury damages are analysed, with perspectives from England and Wales, Canada, Australia, Ireland and continental Europe. The essays offer valuable insights to anyone interested in the reform of tort law or the tort process in respect of personal injuries.
Download or read book Compensation for Personal Injury in English German and Italian Law written by Basil Markesinis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border claims for personal injuries are becoming more common. Furthermore, European nationals increasingly join class actions in the USA. These tendencies have created a need to know more about the law of damages in Europe and America. Despite the growing importance of this subject, there is a dearth of material available to practitioners to assist them in advising their clients as to the heads of damage recoverable in other countries. This book aims to fill that gap by looking at the law in England, Germany and Italy. It sets out the raw data in the wider context of tort law, then provides a closer synthesis, largely concerned with methodological issues, and draws some comparative conclusions.

Download or read book How Much For A Leg written by William J. Stewart and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'How much for my leg?' This is an apparently simple question that someone might ask their lawyer after sustaining a wrongful injury to the said limb. But, in Scotland, no fixed answer can be given. Nor can any official range of possible figures be given. Only after some serious professional work, perhaps taking many hours, can a range of figures be suggested. This study of the assessment of non-pecuniary damages for personal injury reviews the state of current approaches in Scotland, considers the conclusions of the Gill Report and compares differing approaches in jurisdictions worldwide, before presenting possible options for reform.

Download or read book Alternative Compensation Schemes from a Comparative Perspective written by Daniel Jutras and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author conducts a brief comparative overview of alternative schemes of compensation that have emerged over the past century. This chapter specifically addresses regimes that now provide direct compensation to victims of defined tortious hazards independently of any attribution of responsibility to the author of the injury. The analysis reveals three main recurring themes that have driven the emergence of these alternative schemes of compensation. First, alternative compensation regimes are almost by definition legislative solutions to problems encountered within domestic tort law. Second, while currently focused on monetary indemnitites, alternative compensation regimes may also address systemic harm and mass torts through non-monetary remedies. Finally, renewed attention to regulatory frameworks may tilt the balance away from ex post compensation in favour of ex ante intervention.
Download or read book Liability for and Insurability of Biomedical Research with Human Subjects in a Comparative Perspective written by Jos Dute and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-02-27 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Dutch legislation has been introduced stating that biomedical research on humans can only be undertaken when an insurance contract covering the damage as a result of death or personal injury of the patients has been concluded. The aim of this legislation is to ease the acquiring of compensation for test subjects in case damage arises in the course of biomedical research. As such, victims are able to claim compensation directly from the insurer, irrespective of any liability. This volume presents a critical evaluation of the functioning of this legislative arrangement and the situation in various European countries is examined. Country reporters from Belgium, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland describe the insurance and liability arrangements relating to biomedical research in their country. The concluding three reports of this volume examine the situation from both a comparative and international perspective.
