Description
This is a Level 1: Introductory webinar
Calculating claims for Care and Assistance in Personal Injury cases can be challenging:
What is the basis of recovery? How to calculate the value of the care if provided by friends and family? Must the claimant pay the sums recovered to the care giver?
This webinar looks at Care Claims in lower value PI claims, both within and outside the Portals.
After watching our Webinar you will have learnt:
- The effect of the test for recovering for gratuitous care in individual cases
- The methodology to effectively calculate a Care Claim
- The relevance of evidence of relatives and friends visiting the Claimant in hospital and its impact on any Care Claim
- The issues relevant to arguments from the defendant that the Care rate should be discounted
- The provisions of the Portal in respect of Care Claims
We will be discussing:
- What is the test for recovering care?
- Practical application of the legal test
- Calculating the care
- Hospital Visits?
- Appropriate Rates-all the issues
- Discounting gratuitous care?
- Carer’s other losses ?
- Portal Issues
