Claimant lawyers need a clear understanding of the general principles of damages as well as the know-how to maximise the client's claim. The APIL Guide to Damages sets out the general principles followed by a concise explanation of the law, practice and procedure regarding each possible head of claim. Each chapter contains a brief explanation of the law together with practical tips on evidence and procedure and is illustrated with sample calculations. The new edition has been substantially revised and updated to take on board the many changes since publication of the second edition, including * PSLA - the new Judicial College Guidelines, which include commentary from Dame Janet Smith on the historic gender differential in the assessment of damages for disfigurement; * Loss of Chance - High court guidance underlining the 'scenario' approach to assessment of the effect of a head injury on solicitor (Clarke v Maltby [2010] EWHC 1201); * Smith v Manchester - guidance from the Court of Appeal on the Blamire approach and when it should be adopted (Ward v Allies and Morrison Architects [2012] EWCA Civ 1287); * Future loss of earnings - examination of the judicial application of Ogden Tables which now incorporate contingencies other than mortality; * Interim Payments - likely approach of the courts following CA decision in Eeles v Cobham Hire Services Limited [2010] 1 WLR 409; and * Revised schedules of damages and worked examples throughout. 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 provisional damages may be available, as well as how to deal with periodical payments and what investment advice ought to be given to clients.

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND KNOW-HOW AND A MUST FOR PERSONAL INJURY PRACTITIONERS
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
Writing in the Foreword to this timely and practical guide from Jordan Publishing, David Marshall, a former president of APIL refers to it as `a very welcome reminder of what it is really all about - properly compensating our clients for the consequences of injury.' Here in one place, he adds, is a compendium of `authoritative guidance on the principles of damages for the busy practitioner'. He further describes it as `user-friendly' and so it is.
The three authors - two barristers and a solicitor -- all experts in this area -- have created an indispensable work of reference. Its clarity and practical, no-nonsense approach offer notable benefits for busy practitioners having to grapple with this complex and sensitive subject in order to do the best for their clients.
The book covers the full spectrum of issues pertaining to damages including, for example, damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity... for loss of earnings... for gratuitous employment... for pension loss... for gratuitous care... and of course much more. Later chapters offer concise, authoritative guidance on housing... medical expenditure... mobility and transport... interest and benefits... and mental incapacity and the Court of Protection.
The chapter on damages in respect of death covers claims on behalf of the estate and of dependents. Issues relating to interim and periodical payments are also discussed. Each head of claim is accompanied by an explanation of the relevant law, practice and procedure -- and both evidence and procedure are covered in each chapter.
Part of Jordan's series of APIL guides, this is the new third edition of a well-regarded work and contains much new material including new developments pertaining to future loss of earnings... capacity... provisional damages... and loss of chance. For those doing further research, the book provides extensive footnoting, as well as tables of cases, statutes and statutory instruments, plus two appendices and a detailed index at the back.
If even a brief summary of the contents and scope of this book reminds you of the complexities that can emerge to confound you in your everyday practice in this area of law, you will certainly wish to add this latest edition of this highly regarded guide to your professional library."
