The area is complex and of great practical importance to judges, solicitors, barristers, insurance companies, trade unions and the medical defence organizations.;This edition has been revised throughout and includes a new section on vascular injury, as well as updated figures. The guidelines aim to provide a clear and logical framework for the assessment of damages. These guidelines may be referred to in the courts and will be useful to practitioners who need to know the range of damages likely to be awarded for particular injuries.
