Download or read book Redress Schemes for Personal Injuries written by Sonia Macleod and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book takes a fresh look at potential non-litigation solutions to providing personal injury compensation. It is the first systematic comparative study of such a large number – over forty – of personal injury compensation schemes. It covers the drivers for their creation, the frameworks under which they operate, the criteria and thresholds used, the compensation offered, the claims process, statistics on throughput and costs, and analysis of financial costings. It also considers and compares the successes and failings of these schemes. Many different types of redress providers are studied. These include the comprehensive no-blame coverage offered by the New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation; the widely used Patient, Pharmaceutical, Motor Accident and Workers Compensation Insurance systems of the Nordic states; the far smaller issue-focused schemes like the UK Thalidomide and vCJD Trusts; vaccine damage schemes that exist in many countries; as well as motor vehicle schemes from the USA. Conclusions are drawn about the functions, essential requirements, architecture, scope, operation and performance of personal injury compensation systems. The relationships between such schemes, the courts and regulators are also discussed, and both calls and need for reforms are noted. Noting the wide calls for reform of NHS medical negligence litigation within the UK, and its replacement with a no blame approach, the authors' findings outline options for future policy in this area. This major contribution builds on general shifts from courts to ADR, and from blame to no blame in regulation, and is a work that has the potential to have a major impact on the field of personal injury redress. With contributions by Raymond Byrne, Claire Bright, Shuna Mason, Magdalena Tulibacka, Matti Urho, Mary Walker and Herbert Woopen.

Download or read book Contingent Fees for Legal Services written by F. B. MacKinnon and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of contingent fees--taking a percentage share of the money recovered for damage or injury--began among lawyers as a method of providing legal services for those unable to afford counsel. It is now the dominant method of financing litigation for both rich and poor. F. B. MacKinnon, in this book, examines the ethical and economic questions within the legal profession or ethical theory in general. Contingent Fees for Legal Services is a thoroughly documented study undertaken by the American Bar Foundation, the research affiliate of the American Bar Association. It provides the information necessary for evaluating the present status of this controversial practice and the proposals for its change. Arguments about contingent fees center around possible abuses in litigation, extreme competition for cases, increased emphasis upon winning cases, and other ethical considerations. This book describes fully the historical, professional and economic context within which contingent fees developed, without attempting to resolve the debates. In addition, the MacKinnon offers in one volume relevant court decisions, statutes and administrative regulations, estimates the proportion of cases presented under contingent fee contracts, and describes fee schedules and practices. As it permits an objective assessment of the fairness of contingent fees both to clients and to lawyers, this book will therefore interest everyone concerned with reforms of the fee system--lawyers and judges, professors and students, plaintiffs and defendants, as well as policymakers. This is an issue that continues to irritate and confound all concerned with the costs as well as rights of the legal profession and its clients.

Download or read book Cases and Materials on Torts written by Richard A. Epstein and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 1214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concise yet comprehensive Cases and Materials on Torts gives 1Ls a solid foundation in the historical evolution of doctrine and social and economic theory to apply to contemporary issues facing courts. Cases and Materials on Torts preserves historical and conceptual continuity between the present and the past, while addressing the most significant contemporary controversy in fast-moving areas like public nuisance, global warming, products liability, and new litigation against internet providers. Towards our dual ends, the Thirteenth Edition retains the great older cases, both English and American, that have proved themselves time and again in the classroom, and which continue to exert great influence on the modern law. This book also provides a rich exploration of the dominant corrective justice and deterrence (or prevention of harm) approaches to tort law, as exemplified both in the retained and new cases and materials. New to the Thirteenth Edition: ● Developments at the cutting edge of public nuisance law, including the opioids crisis, global warming, and the sale of guns. ● Expanded consideration of the duties of online platforms, as illustrated by vicarious liability against Uber; products liability against Snapchat for defective algorithmic design and against Amazon for sale of defective goods; and novel claims of affirmative duties to rescue on Facebook and rideshare companies. ● Developments in drug litigation, including duties to report adverse events to regulators post-approval and “innovator liability” on brand-name manufacturers for failure to warn by generic manufacturers. ● Recent transformations in setting of compensatory damage awards, with the addition of draft materials of the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Remedies, including matters relating to race and gender. ● A more streamlined casebook appropriate for a comprehensive 1L Torts course. Professors and students will benefit from: ● Clear organizational framework of the book ● Important historical lines of cases that help understand legal reasoning and the evolution of precedent ● Inclusion of key academic commentary and elaboration of central intellectual disputes over the nature and function of the tort law ● Extensive notes with topic headlines that elaborate basic concepts through relevant cases, both old and new, that help shape the most complex contemporary issues facing courts ● Great attention given to cutting edge tort developments

Download or read book Cyberinsurance Policy written by Josephine Wolff and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why cyberinsurance has not improved cybersecurity and what governments can do to make it a more effective tool for cyber risk management. As cybersecurity incidents—ranging from data breaches and denial-of-service attacks to computer fraud and ransomware—become more common, a cyberinsurance industry has emerged to provide coverage for any resulting liability, business interruption, extortion payments, regulatory fines, or repairs. In this book, Josephine Wolff offers the first comprehensive history of cyberinsurance, from the early “Internet Security Liability” policies in the late 1990s to the expansive coverage offered today. Drawing on legal records, government reports, cyberinsurance policies, and interviews with regulators and insurers, Wolff finds that cyberinsurance has not improved cybersecurity or reduced cyber risks. Wolff examines the development of cyberinsurance, comparing it to other insurance sectors, including car and flood insurance; explores legal disputes between insurers and policyholders about whether cyber-related losses were covered under policies designed for liability, crime, or property and casualty losses; and traces the trend toward standalone cyberinsurance policies and government efforts to regulate and promote the industry. Cyberinsurance, she argues, is ineffective at curbing cybersecurity losses because it normalizes the payment of online ransoms, whereas the goal of cybersecurity is the opposite—to disincentivize such payments to make ransomware less profitable. An industry built on modeling risk has found itself confronted by new technologies before the risks posed by those technologies can be fully understood.
