The book is aimed primarily at personal injury practitioners ranging from solicitors and their employees and barristers to unqualified claims assessors. However, it is also intended to assist those who may be involved in personal injury claims either in their own right or peripherally. No other book exists that addresses the subject – and whether practitioners are acting for the claimants or acting for defendants – they will find it invaluable.
