ACCOMMODATION AND APPLIANCE CLAIMS: THE CASES SINCE SWIFT -v- CARPENTER: WEBINAR 15th APRIL 2025
Issues relating to accommodation costs and aids and appliances feature in many moderate to serious personal injury cases. There are relatively few cases where the principles governing damages are considered. This webinar looks at the principles and the practical steps that litigators should take to ensure that damages are properly claimed and are recoverable. Booking details are available here.
“There is a danger that because comparatively few personal injury/clinical negligence cases reach a hearing where the issues of care/aids and equipment are contested, and as a result few reminders are given by the Courts of the correct approach to be adopted, that some reports will fail to approach the analysis of what should be claimed/funded with sufficient rigour.”
(Mr Justice Cotter in Muyepa v Ministry of Defence [2022] EWHC 2648 (KB))
