Brief Summary of a Working Life in the Day of an Injury Solicitor

I started off my Day instructing a medical expert to represent our client in respect of a complex clinical negligence matter.

The expert’s primary focus is to advise on whether the defendant doctor was negligent and caused our client injury and loss. In this case our client was prescribed penicillin of which she was allergic to. This caused our client to suffer from anaphylactic shock. Our client informed the defendant doctor repeatedly that she was allergic to penicillin but it is alleged that this was either ignored by the defendant doctor or there was a communication problem.

On the same case I arranged after the event insurance as we are contemplating issuing court proceedings. This insurance will protect our client from paying the defendant’s legal costs in the unlikely event the claim is lost. This keeps with our philosophy that our clients keep 100% of there compensation.

Late in the evening I received a call from one of my client’s who is of the opinion that he has no culpability in his road traffic accident. In this case our client was pulling out of a side road onto a main road due to a gap in the traffic. The other driver who was on the main road decided to overtake a stationary line of traffic and did not see our client’s vehicle pulling out of a side road, causing the collision. The other driver’s insurance company has made an offer of 80/20 in our client’s favour. However our client does not want to settle for anything other than the opponent being 100% at fault. I have explained to him the legal consequences of accepting and rejecting the offer. My client is now considering his options.

It’s not all law, we had printer problems, my personal printer jammed today, and it took 20 minutes to fix!

Disaster Claims - What Can Be Claimed?

1 08 2008

This can be a complex area where you will need expert injury solicitor advice.

There are two categories, those where the victim has sustained fatal injuries and those were the injuries are non-fatal.

Fatal Accident Injuries

This is set out in detail on this web site, please click on the following links:

General Advice

Bereavement Award

Estate Claims

Dependency Claims

Dependency Division

Non-Fatal Accident Injuries

The award of compensation follow the normal rules of personal injury law. The claim for compensation will be divided between a money award for the injuries (physical and psychological) and a money award for financial losses both past and future.

Compensation for Injuries (Physical and/or Psychological)

We would ask you to visit our main web site as a starting point. When you CLICK HERE you will be presented with a “crash test dummy.” Read the instructions and it will guide you through some basic awards of compensation the courts will offer to settle accident injury claims.

Financial Loss Claims

The law says that the injured victim in an accident claim must be placed in the same financial position but for the accident. In other words, the accident victim must not be financially worse off as a result of the accident. Equally, the accident victim must not be over-compensated. When dealing with future financial losses such as pensions and earnings the calculation of future compensation can be complex and expert solicitors will look to specialist actuaries and accountants to help with the calculations.

For a brief summary of financial losses the following can be claimed (past, present and future):

  • Loss of earnings, bonuses, promotion
  • Medical expenses
  • Prescription charges
  • Loss of Pension
  • Loss of benefits
  • Travel expenses
  • Damage to property
  • Care (paid or unpaid)
  • Aids and appliances
  • Cost of Adaptation of home e.g. for wheel chair access
  • Cost of transport or vehicle adaptation

The list is not exhaustive as each case will be decided on its own particular facts.
