This is a series of webinars looking at the basic elements of major heads of damages for personal injury, with a particular emphasis on those claims in the intermediate and multi track.  In addition to looking at essential elements it looks at recent cases to illustrate in a practical way how damages are established (or not established) at trial.

This webinar looks at the preparation of the schedule, evidence and case in relation to damages for personal injury.  It looks at the case law and covers: 

• What is an “injury”?
• What is a claimant being compensated for?
• What factors affect the award for pain and suffering?
• Does the age and income of the claimant matter?
• How should pain and suffering be presented in the Schedule?
• Can the claimant simply rely on the medical evidence in presenting their claim for injury?
• What factors are going to affect the award for pain and suffering?
• Hybrid claims and the “whiplash tariff”
