The Government has said it will provide #legalaid at inquests for ‘victims of disasters or state-related death’.
APIL has long campaigned for legal aid for families at inquests involving public authorities, and will scrutinise the proposals when they are published in full.

The total number of personal injury claims are still well below pre-pandemic levels, with the decline most pronounced for motor injury claims. This is despite traffic volumes being above pre-pandemic levels.

A very topical episode of our @ShoosmithsSI Injury podcast for this week. We really do hope that further investment, sensitivity and change materialise for maternal medicine in the next manifesto.

Whether the amount is £5,000 or £5 million, compensation is never a ‘win’ or prize. It is calculated very carefully to ensure it meets an injured person’s practical needs, often for the rest of that person’s life, as well as the pain and suffering caused - no more, no less.

Disappointing decision-the team at @ShoosmithsSI fought to push the boundaries for their client, and many others, to achieve a much needed change in the law. It's pursuing cases such as these which strive to achieve real change to the system for victims of medical negligence.

The tragedy of today's 10 inquest openings into deaths involving surgeon Ian Paterson is that in 3 cases the coroner couldn't trace ANY family
Winifred Worrall, Elaine Morris, 45, and Pauline Tomkinson, 67, had no representation at all. @deborahdoug

Our client developed a spinal deformity as a result of delayed diagnosis and treatment of a spinal fracture. This was a complex case, but we were able to settle the case following mediation.
