This book is aimed at all levels of practitioners dealing with UK road traffic accidents (RTA) liability claims. It is presented in a very clear, user friendly format with practical step by step tips where the subject matter requires.
The work covers three distinction areas.Â
Part A concerns the general principles applicable to all cases focusing on negligence, statutory duties, causation and remoteness, with an emphasis on what these principles mean in practice.Â
Part B looks in detail at the statutory framework with special attention given to workplaces, work equipment, manual handling, working at height and construction.Â
Part C offers practical guidance on effective case preparation and presentation, providing invaluable know-how on investigation guidelines, evidence, and practice and procedure.
