Bristol Law Society in association with St John’s Chambers invite you to an online ‘lunch and learn’ webinar on personal injury law, with talks from James Hughes, Jonathan Lindfield & David Forster of our Personal Injury team.

The focus of this informal series will be to support junior lawyers at the early stages of their careers.

• Costly mistakes & mistakes about costs: Some less common portal issues and how to avoid them
  Jonathan will focus on two important topics concerning claims utilising the low value EL/PL and RTA personal injury portals; namely the doctrine of mistake and its application to portal claims, and a review of the relevant costs provisions.
• Care and assistance claims, what can be claimed and how
  David will focus on care and assistance claims; what can be properly claimed, the appropriate rates and the evidence required.
