Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL)’s Post

Did you attend the Action against Medical Accidents Clinical Negligence Conference yesterday? If so, we hope you found Dominic Woodhouse's presentation, "The Operation and Impact of Fixed Recoverable Costs," both engaging and informative. His talk covered the following key points: - What the FRC proposals for FRC are, what the process will look like including the risk of ignoring the Early Neutral Evaluators estimate of damages and going to trial. - What the costs on the proposed FRC grid looks like - How will the increased sums for complexity be secured. - What FRC means for client damages – include the risk of client damages being wiped out and client end up owing their lawyer. - How to make sure you can demonstrate that your client has been properly informed to be able to enter CFA with you Messaging to client ie you may want to shop around for better CFA terms; clear messaging around what the client will recover by way of damages eg some firms say you will recover ¾ of your damages no matter what. We hope you enjoyed the session and found it valuable!

19 years ago, the Illinois legislature enacted the Restroom Access Act, or Ally’s Law, to assist individuals with specific medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This crucial law ensures that people with these conditions can access employee-only restrooms in locations like restaurants, department stores, and other public places when public restrooms are unavailable. Since then, around 20 states have adopted similar measures, underscoring a growing commitment to accessibility and dignity for all individuals. #AllysLaw #RestroomAccess #IBD #UlcerativeColitis #CrohnsDisease

November is #CRPS (#ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome) Awareness Month. CRPS often affects a person’s limbs, such as an arm or a leg, and usually develops after a trauma such as a stroke, car accident or an injury. Many CRPS sufferers turn to law firms who do not specialise in chronic pain. What they often find is solicitors who do not understand the nuances of these conditions, do not have the experience to achieve great settlements, and lack the network of specialists around them to properly support their clients. When you pursue your case with Brian Barr Solicitors, you get access to experts with a combined experience of over 40 years in this field. We understand CRPS, the complexity of these cases, and are aware of what sufferers go through, from initial medical assessments down to their pain and suffering. What this means is, as specialists, we can help you gather evidence to build a strong case, and thus we obtain high settlements for our clients. #CRPSAwarenessMonth

"Is assisted dying a compassionate response to suffering or a dangerous precedent for society? Assisted dying serves as a compassionate measure that provides dignity to individuals enduring unbearable pain while respecting their autonomy. However, addressing risks such as undue influence, procedural abuse, and the erosion of ethical medical standards is imperative. Accordingly, the implementation of stringent legal safeguards, including multiple medical evaluations, informed consent, and mandatory waiting periods, is essential in order to balance individual rights and uphold ethical medical practices. #ElizabethBKehaya #LegalNews #KehayaOnLaw #AssistedDying The University of Cambridge is hosting an insightful discussion on this important topic.

https://buff.ly/4drAU6H Yesterday at Parliament House we welcomed the State of VAD report by Go Gentle Australia with Hon Mark Butler MP, leading voluntary assisted dying (VAD) advocate and renowned broadcaster Andrew Denton and Go Gentle Australia CEO, Dr Linda Swan in attendance: https://buff.ly/3SM0nzv We continue to voice our support for a change to the Commonwealth Criminal Code to exclude VAD, which acts as a key barrier to access especially for patients from rural and remote areas. The report highlights half of all people who begin the VAD request and assessment process do not complete it, and around one in five who are deemed eligible die without administering a VAD substance. SHPA is one of many signatories on a Joint Statement, coordinated by Go Gentle Australia, calling for reform of the Code to allow for electronic communication methods to be used, where clinically appropriate, in the delivery of VAD care.
