Personal Injury Practice: An Expert Guide

A variety of changes in recent years have made the personal injury sector a challenging environment for law firms to operate in.

With referral fees banned, mandatory costs budgeting introduced, and insurance premiums rising, there is no doubt that, for many firms, personal injury work is less profitable now than it used to be. But those firms that have embraced the new environment have shown that there are significant opportunities to grow and increase profits in this sector.

Personal Injury Practice: An Expert Guide takes stock of the state of personal injury law and offers practical tips on how practitioners can respond – and have responded – to the changes taking place.

Key topics include:-

• Recent reforms that personal injury solicitors should be aware of and their impact on injured persons;
• The post-Jackson environment and the challenges to client care which this presents;
• How focusing on the ‘golden rule’ of personal injury, client care, can ensure compliance, protect against fraudulent claims, and encourage new and repeat business and referrals;
• Preparing, managing, and monitoring your case budget;
• New guidance on working with experts;
• Recent case law and prevalent myths relating to limitations;
• Case studies from Asons Solicitors and Colemans CTTS describe how these firms have adapted to the post-Jackson environment.
