Product Description

While laws affecting personal injury have not changed dramatically since Winning Your Personal Injury Claim was first published, this new edition shares information consumers asked for after reading the first edition. The author now begins the book with a full overview of the personal injury litigation process, focusing especially on the important events that occur immediately after an accident. He stresses that the claim actually begins at that point and that one must be prepared to deal with all aspects of the situation. He provides suggestions for checklists that can be carried with you, as well as other valuable information to have on hand.

This new edition provides a more complete, step-by-step guide to pursuing a personal injury case without formal representation. It includes information regarding the different types of letters that need to be written--and the order in which they are sent--when a claim is being pursued. Many easy-to-use, blank tear-out forms are available in the back of the book.

Customer Reviews

Completely useless
I bought this book because I wanted a sourcebook that would help me resolve my claim without involving a lawyer, something the book's self-review promised it would do. However, the book was cynical and insulting, and every other line said, in effect, "if you INSIST on doing this yourself, good luck. However, you should really get a lawyer." The book's title should be "Get a Lawyer for your Personal Injury Claim." That's about the only message I got from it. What a disappointment.

the best book I have read in a long time!
When I read this book, I suspected it might be good. Little did I realize exactly how good it would be. Everything you could possibly want to know about winning your personal injury claim is in here. Even if you don't have a claim, this book makes for an excellent read in front of a fire on a cold winter night. Mr. Aidman's tone reasonates with warmth, understanding, and humour. I highly reccomend this book to everyone.

A REALLY HELPFUL EASY READ
I had a small case and didn't want to turn a 1/3 of it over to a lawyer so I got this book. It explained step by step what to expect and do and I was able therefore to maximize value and minimize effort on my own claim.
