Fairer compensation for personal injury accidents
Summary
Each year, many thousands of people claim for damages following accidents or injuries. However, valuing claims for loss of future earnings in such cases is particularly challenging and has in the past often resulted in under-compensation to victims. Research led by Cardiff Business School’s Dr Victoria Wass has underpinned the development of a radical new methodology to achieve greater accuracy, consistency and justice in the awarding of damages to injury claimants.
