This ground-breaking book takes a fresh look at potential
non-litigation solutions to providing personal injury compensation.
It is the first systematic comparative study of such a large number
- over forty - of personal injury compensation schemes. It covers
the drivers for their creation, the frameworks under which they
operate, the criteria and thresholds used, the compensation
offered, the claims process, statistics on throughput and costs,
and analysis of financial costings. It also considers and compares
the successes and failings of these schemes. Many different types
of redress providers are studied. These include the comprehensive
no-blame coverage offered by the New Zealand Accident Compensation
Corporation; the widely used Patient, Pharmaceutical, Motor
Accident and Workers Compensation Insurance systems of the Nordic
states; the far smaller issue-focused schemes like the UK
Thalidomide and vCJD Trusts; vaccine damage schemes that exist in
many countries; as well as motor vehicle schemes from the USA.
Conclusions are drawn about the functions, essential requirements,
architecture, scope, operation and performance of personal injury
compensation systems. The relationships between such schemes, the
courts and regulators are also discussed, and both calls and need
for reforms are noted. Noting the wide calls for reform of NHS
medical negligence litigation within the UK, and its replacement
with a no blame approach, the authors' findings outline options for
future policy in this area. This major contribution builds on
general shifts from courts to ADR, and from blame to no blame in
regulation, and is a work that has the potential to have a major
impact on the field of personal injury redress. With contributions
by Raymond Byrne, Claire Bright, Shuna Mason, Magdalena Tulibacka,
Matti Urho, Mary Walker and Herbert Woopen.
