This book examines the problems facing personal injury litigants. It is in two sections the first of which deals with issues in the field from the perspective of the UK while in the second matters of European and international concern are dealt with. The book deals with issues arising from accident or harm as a result of the involvement of the individual in medical care. It also goes further to critically examine the development of a no-fault liability system to replace the more traditional fault-based system. Consideration is given to the effects of spiralling damage awards on the ability of health care facilities to meet their budgets and maintain a high quality of care.
