‘A Practical Guide to Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury Amputation Claims’ by Sandra De Souza & Manpreet Singh

Description

A Practical Guide to Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury Amputation Claims is a handbook for legal practitioners handling complex, high value areas of litigation. Combining legal expertise with practical insight, this guide will help readers understand the medical causes and complications of limb loss – navigating expert evidence, rehabilitation pathways, and quantum assessment.

Authored by experienced practitioners, the book explains the medico‑legal issues that regularly arise in amputation litigation. Readers are guided through best practices in instructing experts, avoiding evidential pitfalls and valuing prosthetic claims.

Comprehensive and accessible, this book is a great reference for claimant and defendant practitioners alike.

“This is a careful, rigorous, and much-needed practitioner text. It provides a clear account of the United Kingdom’s international and domestic obligations towards victims of human trafficking and, crucially, offers practical guidance on how unlawful prosecutions and convictions can be challenged on appeal. Drawing on Strasbourg jurisprudence and domestic authority, Stephen Knight and Margo Munro Kerr have produced an invaluable resource for criminal lawyers practising in England and Wales who seek to give practical effect to the principle of non-punishment and to identify and remedy the wrongful criminalisation of victims of trafficking.”
– Professor Parosha Chandran, barrister & Professor of Practice in Modern Slavery Law, King’s College London
