Fraudulent and Exaggerated Claims In Personal Injury Book

The book is aimed primarily at UK personal injury practitioners ranging from solicitors and their employees and barristers to insurers and unqualified claims assessors. However, it is also intended to assist those who may be involved in personal injury claims either in their own right or peripherally. Non-UK practitioners will find it of great interest. No other book exists that addresses the subject - and whether practitioners are acting for the claimants or acting for defendants - they will find it invaluable. 1.Introduction 2.Pleadings and professional position 3.Burden of proof 4.Fraudulent claims 5.Low impact claims: admissibility of expert evidence 6.Low impact claims: causation and foreseeability 7.Exaggerated claims/malingering 8.Similar fact evidence 9.Surveillance evidence 10.Orthopaedic and psychological testing for exaggeration 11.Tax dodging Claimants 12.Proceeds of Crime Act 13.Abuse of process/tainted by illegality 14.Costs 15.Perjury/contempt of court Appendix 1: Statutes Appendix 2: Civil Procedure RulesRead More
