Frequently, as well as attempting to secure compensation for the victims of accidents and illness, personal injury solicitors act in a second capacity of lobbying for change at a legal and governmental level.
Typically, such change will relate to their field of work. For example, solicitors who specialise in personal injury have, alongside unions, been strong campaigners for a change in asbestos compensation law as it relates to the condition of pleural plaques, calling for damages to be paid to sufferers of this condition right across the UK.
Many also lobby hard to improve workplace safety. It is hard to deal firsthand with the victims of work accidents and not want to improve occupational safety in the UK. Whether it is lending support to landmark legislation such as the Corporate Manslaughter Act, which allows company bosses to be criminally prosecuted for breaches in the duty of care owed to all workers, or calling for a tightening on health and safety training in the workplace, personal injury solicitors play an active part in ensuring employers safeguard the health of their workers.
Accident solicitors also contribute to the road safety debate, lending their experience of car crash claims to the public forum and frequently reminding us all of the need to tackle hazards such as drink driving, potholes, speeding and the vulnerability of motorcycle riders.
As many no win, no fee solicitors also represent medical negligence cases, many also find themselves moved to contribute to healthcare debates. Whether it is superbug-related controversies, medical malpractice or obstetric failings, personal injury specialists have a place in the debate, especially as many have direct access to journalists and media sources.
But, perhaps the biggest motivation for speaking out is a desire to ensure that the same mistake is never repeated. One solicitor comments of the "need to learn more from mistakes." There is nothing more distressing for those of us who work with injured people than seeing the same mistakes being repeated."
