Personal injury lawyers maintain a strong interest in medical science. Although they are not doctors, it benefits both their own work and the cases of their clients if they are aware of the particular effects of a specific injury.
This means keeping up to date with advances in medical research. For example, before certain orthopaedic advances were made, a client claiming car accident compensation for a broken leg might, allowing for inflation, receive a larger sum of compensation than he or she would nowadays. Compensation should always be commensurate with the severity of injury sustained and, as breakthroughs in medical science mitigate the seriousness of certain injuries, settlements will be adjusted accordingly to reflect this.
Ever since 1953, when the structure of the DNA molecule was first described, genetics has been the area of medicine to inspire the most optimism.
In 2009 we witnessed another significant breakthrough when Chinese researchers succeeded in creating cloned mice from stem cells that had been generated from skin cells, a less fraught process than obtaining stem cells form embryos.
Far from meaning that we are closer to the science fiction scenario of cloned humans, the advance could be valuable in helping generate new tissues for people in need of reconstructive surgery.
In the long term, this could mean that the personal injury lawyers of the future claim compensation for their clients not for the lasting impact of an injury but for the reconstructive surgery required to heal it; only time will tell.
Cost free 100 percent compensation with leading personal injury lawyers
The civil claims process exists to ensure recourse to justice for people who have been injured in accidents that are not their fault.
Although compensation might be financial in nature, its impact goes far beyond the monetary. As well as providing for loss of earnings, it can also provide peace of mind, help ensure the best possible rehabilitation and, ultimately, improve the general wellbeing of a claimant.
YouClaim provides a service that gives claimants the opportunity to improve their wellbeing in this way, but without them ever having to pay a penny in costs, fees or disbursements: this charge-free service is available for all types of claim, with the single exception of clinical negligence-related cases.
In addition all our personal injury lawyers are governed by the relevant subsection of the Law Society and, since they never take a cut, guarantee successful clients 100 percent compensation.
