APIL Guide to Fatal Accidents

This work provides practical advice on how to run a case involving a fatal accident

---

Fatal accidents present the lawyer with a set of problems distinct from those of non-fatal personal injury claims. In particular, who does the law categorise as a dependant and how do you calculate the claim for dependency? The APIL Guide to Fatal Accidents, now in its second edition, provides practical advice on how to run a case involving a fatal accident and how to secure maximum awards for the family, friends and estate of the deceased. The second edition has been extensively revised and updated as follows: * new case such as Welsh Ambulance Service NHS v Williams on financial loss, Corr v IBC on causation and suicide, and Arup v M W White on disregarded benefits * extended coverage of claiming for psychiatric injuries and dealing with apportionment * new guidance on drafting schedules of loss and witness statements, funding the claim, and limitation * a revised chapter on the Coroners' Inquest including the proposed changes contained in the Coroners and Justice Bill Useful practical materials such as client questionnaires, draft pleadings and schedules of damages complement the text.
In addition the relevant statutory materials and the 6th Edition of the Ogden Tables are reproduced for ease of reference. 10% discount for APIL Members, to take advantage of this offer please call Customer Services on 0117 918 1492 and quote your APIL membership number.
