Exaggerated and Fraudulent Claims in Personal Injury 12+

📖 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. Introduction2.
