My experience tells me that carers do not think about the toll the care regime takes on them. You have to be forced to stop and think, particularly because your relationship with the injured person is going to change. For [...]]]></description>

At the outset of such a case much time and effort is spend on the child&#8217;s medical, educational and financial needs. The support available varies depending on where you live, but if you do not know what help you are entitled to, where do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only experts can give opinion in a compensation case, and the opinion must be limited to the field of expertise.
A medical expert is the usual expert, but again the medical expert must keep to their own area of expertise. Accident compensation cases sometimes need the help of a reconstruction expert, an engineer, an occupational or [...]]]></description>

I often act for self employed people. Running my own business gives me an understanding of the self employed, and the particular pressures and issues these cases for compensation involve.

I handled a case for a young soldier, who I will call John. He was off for the weekend, and got a lift in the back of a friend&#8217;s car. The driver had to take evasive action to avoid another car changing lanes. [...]]]></description>

The effect is greatest in the most severe injury cases, because the needs of the injured person are so great, and therefore expensive. If you are found to have contributed a percentage is fixed to identify your share of the blame for [...]]]></description>

The rider was knocked off his bike and then run over. Many fractures were suffered, together with a head injury. The accident brought to an end a promising military career, and in fact the combination of the physical disability, and more importantly, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contributory negligence is such an important subject it is worthy of its own section.
You can prove your case by showing you were injured by someone who did not take reasonable care for your safety. They might be able to show you were partially to blame, and therefore contributed to the injury. Your contribution is assessed [...]]]></description>

Their business is based on you being blameless, and someone else being responsible, and that person having insurance.
The situation usually looks like this. Your vehicle [...]]]></description>
