Details

This work will help you identify what may or may not be legitimately included when constructing a claim for damages.

Claimant Lawyers need a clear understanding of the general principles of the recovery of damages as well as the know how to properly compensate their clients for the consequences of injury.

The APIL Guide to Damages will help you to construct a claim for damages by identifying what may or may not be legitimately included, what evidence will be required to support the claim and how to quantify the losses. It begins by setting out the position in relation to general damages and goes on to examine special damages by looking at each possible head of claim, including complex areas such as pension loss. Each chapter contains a brief explanation of the law with practical tips on evidence and procedure, and is illustrated with sample calculations.

This edition has been substantially revised, updated and expanded to take on board the many changes since publication of the first edition including:

a new chapter on periodical payments
the impact of the eighth edition of the JSB Guidelines
the sixth edition of the Ogden Tables and the significant effect on calculation of multipliers and damages for loss of earning capacity
a completely revised chapter on the new Court of Protection
important new case-law such as the House of Lords decision on plural plaques inRothwell, Grieves & Johnston and Flora v Wakom on indexation

The likely impact of interest and benefits on the level of damages received by the claimant is clearly set out together with advice on when interim payments and what investment advice should be given to clients.

"the authors have admirably balanced their treatment of the subject so that it is concise, user-friendly and above all a practical one-stop shop for all claims."
