Book review: A Practical Guide to Alternative Dispute Resolution in Personal Injury Claims

nlj_7738_causton

"This book should be in every office of every law firm and insurance company claims department dealing with injury claims"

Authors: Peter Causton, Nichola Evans & James Arrowsmith
Publisher: Law Brief Publishing
ISBN: 9781911035091
Price: £49.99

As someone that has been professionally involved in personal injury litigation for over 40 years and a mediator for almost ten of those, this was bound to be a book title that grabbed my attention. 

It is reassuring to note from the cover that the authors are hands-on with the subject-matter from a variety of legal perspectives and are not simply academics writing another thesis. A practical guide therefore from highly experienced lawyers with a few anecdotes thrown in; always a good sign.

It doesn’t leave us in any doubt about what we will find as we begin reading for we are told straightaway what the book is for and how it will help you. 

While an assumption can be made that readers will have at least some familiarity with the insurance claims/injury litigation process, it still offers helpful definitions
