Books
Once you have instructed your solicitor, and provided him with details of your claim, there is very little work on your part. You could leave it all to the experts and just focus on recovering from your injuries and getting on with your life.
However, if you would like to read up on the subject of personal injury compensation claims, and find out what your solicitors (and barrister) are doing on your behalf, you might be interested in the following publications:
Guidelines
for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases
This authoritative guide to assessing general damages in personal injury claims is widely used by judges involved in such cases. The 5th edition takes account of the recent decision of the Court of appeal in Heil v Rankin (2000) 2 WLR 1173 which made principled increases in the level of personal injury awards over £10,000. In arriving at the guidelines given, the authors have also distilled the important decisions of the courts since the publication of the last edition, and amended the figures to take into account the inflationary rise of the past two years. The Guidelines are designed to provide a clear and logical framework for the assessment of damages while leaving the discretion of the assessor unfettered, since every case must depend to a degree on its own facts. They provide a guide to all those involved in personal injury litigation: solicitors, barristers, insurance companies, trade unions and the medical defence organizations.
