Download or read book A Barrister s Guide to Your Personal Injury Claim written by Julian Benson and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, people get injured, often by accidents where no one is to blame. However, sometimes injuries happen because someone else - a person or an organisation - is at fault. These personal injuries can lead to compensation, particularly if the injury is life changing. Usually, people only experience one significant injury that leads to a personal injury claim in their lifetime. So, for most, dealing with a claim is unfamiliar and stressful, especially when they're already coping with the injury. This guide aims to explain the legal process and help injured individuals (and their loved ones) understand what to expect. Aimed at members of the public in England and Wales, this guide contains authoritative, impartial advice to enable individuals to understand and participate in their personal injury claim with confidence. The guide aims to: - Help you understand the legal process, what to expect, and your role. - Assist you in building a clear and reasonable claim, maximising the prospect that you will receive a reasonable compensation settlement. - Guide you in choosing the right representatives, assessing their service, identifying and addressing problems early, and replacing advisors if needed. It is written by a highly regarded specialist barrister with 30 years experience and is aimed at making the claims process less stressful whilst promoting fairer, quicker and more cost-effective settlements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's two decades since the CPR came in. Costs are now fixed; many of the problems with costs are fixed; but costs law is anything but simple. There is so much you need to know. This book is the place to start. It's an everyday guide to the everyday issues, with each point covered in a bitesize format. Don't know how the rules apply in the circumstances of your claim? Find it here. Can't remember the name of that key case? Find it here. Need a quick guide on the law in a specific area? Find it here. The book is rich in expert insight into the way that costs claims work. It is a more accessible and streamlined practitioner's handbook than other costs textbooks on the market, and also seeks to set itself apart by trying to give useful guidance on those difficult remaining topics on which the law does not yet give certainty. The first half of the book deals with the fixed costs regime in detail. The later chapters deal with costs procedure and detailed assessment, all laden with practical tips for all parties so as to get to the right or the best result as soon as possible. The book is aimed particularly at those working in personal injury claims, but also offers invaluable insight to the way fixed costs work for the wider civil litigation community. We all know an expansion of fixed costs will come, and those who are ready will be most likely to thrive.

Outside of work, Matthew watches far too much YouTube and enjoys fixing broken electronics and general tinkering with computers. He lives with his family near Peterborough.
