This webinar will highlight the legal and practical issues which can arise when dealing with a personal injury claim when the Claimant appears to have received sub-standard medical treatment for the injuries sustained including:
• Reminder of general principles on causation
• When will there be joint and several liability for the “same damage.”
• What is likely to be a break in the chain of causation in the context of healthcare provided for negligently caused injury
• Can the claimant’s own actions break the chain of causation
• Factors likely to influence the claimant’s approach to investigation of separate claims
• Which pre-action protocols to use
• Assessing issues and advising the client
• Dealing with such claims under the CPR as amended from April 2024
• Settlement (with one of several Defendants)
