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.

Paul Whiteing, @AvMA_CEO, highlights the importance of including patient and relative feedback in the NHS's rollout #MarthasRule across 100 hospitals this year. Their insights will be crucial in assessing the response of critical care teams. #PatientSafety bit.ly/3wy2f6v
Could not have said this better myself!! @SharonBanga2016
Such a powerful video - You can't watch it and not be affected / moved.
If anyone wants to know what this area of law can mean to our clients; this video can provide an answer in a way that would be difficult to put into words alone.

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.
Really looking forward to reading this long awaited and important judgment regarding secondary victim claims, in which @ShoosmithsSI and our head of department @PhilBarnes75 acted on behalf of the lead Claimant.
Judgment will be handed down on Thursday 11 January in the matters of Paul and another (Appellants) v Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust (Respondent), Polmear and another (Appellants) v Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (Respondent), and Purchase (Appellant) v Ahmed (Respondent)
