Being told that you have cancer is a devastating experience. This can be made worse by a feeling that the disease could have been avoided, or your prognosis improved, had the medical professionals around you performed their jobs properly.

Perhaps your symptoms were overlooked, or your concerns dismissed and your diagnosis delayed.

We all know that, when it comes to cancer, prompt investigation and treatment is essential to prevent the spread of the disease and to give the best chance of a cure.

At The Wilkes Partnership we have helped with compensation claims and will help you with your claim.

Please call Kate Campbell-Gunn on 0121 733 8000

Christmas is upon us
A happy time of year
A few bits to stock up on
Then it’s time for a beer

We’ve cancelled our parties
All following the guidance
To avoid spending Christmas
Alone with the virus

We’re living with covid
Life for sure is much tougher
Must check on our neighbours
Be there for each other

We pray for those taken
Too soon, it’s unfair
Those fighting the illness
We are with you, we care

But life must go on
Let’s enjoy our days off
Let’s smile and be grateful
For what we have got

We’ve heard by the way
That Santa’s a star
He’s just tested negative
His last-minute PCR

A stocking for a loved one
Whether they have two legs or four
A gift carefully chosen
One they will adore

Give them a cuddle
A hug or a kiss
Let’s enjoy Christmas
Make it one not to miss

Tuck into your turkey
Your beef or whatever
Lift up your glass
And enjoy Christmas together

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year from all at Personal Injury Pal, Personal Injury Solicitors Birmingham

The question before the Court of Appeal in this case was:

‘whether the drunk passenger should have his compensation reduced for contributory negligence because he should have appreciated the driver was too drunk to drive safely.’

The passenger’s argument was:

‘that he was too drunk to realise that the driver was too drunk to drive safely therefore that there should not be a reduction for contributory negligence.’

The Court of Appeal found that contributory negligence did apply and compensation was reduced by 20%. The test was whether a reasonable, prudent and competent man in the passenger’s position would have appreciated that the driver had drunk too much to drive safely.

MPs and campaign organisations delivered a letter to 10 Downing Street asking the Prime Minister to back the Aquired Brain Injury Bill. The bill aims to commit the government to prepare and publish a strategy document designed to meet the needs of people living with an acquired brain injury.

We will never forget the year 2020 with the strict lockdowns brought in to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

There were fewer people on the roads of Great Britain. This led to a decrease of 22% in the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads compared to the previous year.

You will be surprised to learn that during 2020 there were still 1460 reported road deaths which averages 4 per day.

No doubt the statistics for 2021 will show an increase in these numbers.

Please take extra care out there during these dark, cold winter months.

If you are injured in an accident which is not your fault, please give us a call. One of our qualified solicitors at Personal Injury Pal will be on hand to help and advise you.

Here are the official statistics

Fixed Recoverable Costs already apply to personal injury cases up to a value of £25,000.

The government has now announced that Fixed Recoverable Costs will be introduced for most civil cases worth up to £25,000.

Further, the government will also expand the fast track to include simple ‘intermediate’ cases valued between £25,000 and £100,000 in damages.

The introduction of Fixed Recoverable Costs has had an impact on solicitors representing claimants in personal injury claims, however, we at Personal Injury Pal continue to take on cases aiming to recover compensation for those injured in accidents.

Please call us if you think you may have a personal injury claim.
