FOIL update on the serious injury guide

The serious injury guide was published in October 2015 and has now been available for use for over six months. It was published following a period of consultation between representatives of FOIL, APIL and the insurance industry.

The guide seeks to establish a collaborative framework in which to conduct cases, at the pre-litigation stage, with a potential value in excess of £250,000.00; but its principles are also applicable to serious cases below that value. It promotes ongoing dialogue between parties to promote an active collaborative case plan in any claim.

This two page article sets out the latest on the implementation of the guide.
