A man slips on the dancefloor and breaks his leg - he recovers
damages. A child has both legs amputated as a result of meningitis,
and is awarded nothing. The law's justification for awarding
damages in the first case is that the man's injury was the fault of
someone else, while in the second case damages are denied because
nobody was at fault. This critique of the present law and practice
relating to damages, shows that the damages system is in fact a
lottery. It contends that the public are paying far too much for an
unfair and inefficient insurance system, and that reform is long
overdue. The book concludes that actions for damages for injuries
should be abolished and replaced with a new no-fault road accident
scheme, and actions for injuries should be dealt with by individual
or group insurance policies.
