What should you do if you are injured in a car accident? This
little guide, written by a nationally recognized personal injury
lawyer, will show you what to do, and perhaps more important, what
not to do.
This book may be for you, if you: 1. Were injured in an accident
involving a car, semi truck, motor cycle, bus or any other moving
vehicle. 2. Do not think you were more than more than 50% at fault
for the accident. 3. Have, or will probably have, medical bills of
more than $2,000 from the accident. 4. Are not bothered about
having your damages paid by a multi-billion dollar insurance
company.

Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort contains thirteen original essays
on leading tort cases, ranging from the early nineteenth century to
the present day. It is the third volume in a series of collected
essays on landmark cases (the previous two volumes having dealt
with restitution and contract). The cases examined raise a broad
range of important issues across the law of tort, including such
diverse areas as acts of state and public nuisance, as well as
central questions relating to the tort of negligence. Several of
the essays place cases in their historical context in ways that
change our understanding of the case's significance. Sometimes the
focus is on drawing out previously neglected aspects of cases which
have been - undeservedly - assigned minor importance. Other essays
explore the judicial methodologies and techniques that worked to
shape leading principles of tort law. So much of tort law turns on
cases, and there are so many cases, that all but the most recent
decisions have a tendency to become reduced to terse propositions
of law, so as to keep the subject manageable. This collection shows
how important it is, despite the constant temptation to
compression, not to lose sight of the contexts and nuances which
qualify and illuminate so many leading authorities.
This book is a study of doctrinal and methodological divergence in
the common law of obligations. It explores particular departures
from the common law mainstream and the causes and effects of those
departures. Some divergences can be justified on the basis of a
need to adapt the common law of contract, torts, equity and
restitution to local circumstances, or to bring them into
conformity with local values. More commonly, however, doctrinal or
methodological divergence simply reflects different approaches to
common problems, or different views as to what justice or policy
requires in particular circumstances. In some instances divergent
methodologies lead to substantially the same results, while in
others particular causes of action, defences, immunities or
remedies recognised in one jurisdiction but not another undoubtedly
produce different outcomes. Such cases raise interesting questions
as to whether ultimate appellate courts should be slow to abandon
principles that remain well accepted throughout the common law
world, or cautious about taking a uniquely divergent path. The
chapters in this book were originally presented at the Seventh
Biennial Conference on the Law of Obligations held in Hong Kong in
July 2014. A separate collection, entitled The Common Law of
Obligations: Divergence and Unity (ISBN: 9781782256564), is also
being published.
