Personal Injury Pack

Legal aid franchising has imposed rigorous standards of case management on franchise holders. Files are audited annually by the Legal Aid Board to ensure compliance with the Board's Transaction Criteria. In the event of failing the audit, a firm's franchise could be in danger.

This series of transaction packs has been designed especially to help practitioners to implement the Transaction Criteria in every case they handle. It is suitable for all firms holding or seeking a franchise and for non-franchise-holding firms and other advice agencies wishing to ensure best practice is followed in all cases.

This pack covers personal injury and comprises:-

• a fact file;
• first interview attendance notes;
• first interview summary and action plan;
• a case check chart; and a file closer.

Areas covered include slipping accidents, road traffic accidents, industrial accidents, fatal accidents, occupational health claims and medical negligence.
