An Introduction to Personal Injury Law
£33.20
Personal Injury law is one of the most ubiquitous areas of legal practice yet often forms no more than a tiny fraction of a student’s study of the law of Tort. This book is designed to provide the necessary background and information to take the reader from a standing start (whether law student, file handler, or litigant-in-person) to a level of understanding where they can run a claim with a real understanding of the underlying issues, the aims of such litigation and the issues which can arise. It provides a genuine touchstone for anybody involved in Personal Injury law, serving to remind them of what they are doing and why. ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Boyle read Law at Churchill College, Cambridge and has 21 years’ experience of Personal Injury work based at Deans Court Chambers in Manchester. He has a thriving practice across a broad spectrum of complex, high value, high profile and unusual Multi-Track claims, lectures at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and has been Head of Mini-Pupillage at Deans Court for 6 years. Always approachable, he has a particular appreciation of the need for clients to understand their litigation, no matter what the complexities, and has a reputation for clarity and forensic rigour in both his written and oral advocacy. In 2015, the Legal 500 said that he “Provides tactically astute, detailed advice and is able to convey this simply.” He has carried that through to his writing, the critically acclaimed “On Experts” and this, his second book. “He writes as he speaks: He surveys the territory with the advantage of a wealth of experience, richly leavened with a generous helping of personal anecdote, thereby combining authority with accessibility.” – Turner J

After years of practicing in a different area of law I found this book to be a really good refresher for my LPC personal injury based exams.

This book provides a great introduction to personal injury law. I use this book for both studies in Tort Law and work purposes in my job. David’s writing style is excellent, and his wit makes it a pleasure to read. This book is clear, precise, and straight to the point, with clear examples surrounding the areas involved within personal injury.
I cannot wait to see if there will be an updated version with future changes around the corner in this area of law.
by Marc Tyler
Aside from being an essential aide to any layperson attempting to navigate the claims process independently, this is a must-read book for law students looking toward a career in civil law. I bought this book as a mature student, transitioning from law degree to bar course. After three years of text-books and essays, it has been absolutely invaluable in bridging the gap between theory and practice. It provides the complete overview of the entire process that is all too often missing, if not hitherto absent altogether, from legal education. A vital book for any would-be civil lawyer, and one that I will undoubtedly turn to time and again.

A brilliantly written and accessible book – I’d highly recommend it.
by MR S W OLDHAM
This book is not only an excellent introduction to personal injury law but, speaking as a law student, it is also the book I wish that I had read *before* I studied Tort Law as it provides a real-world contextual base from which to study the subject in greater depth.
It’s also a very enjoyable read due to David’s writing style which incorporates lashings of dry wit.
