Having a quick flick through the JC Guildelines, there are some quite significant injuries that would fall within £5k, and what of the poor client who has a PSLA claim worth £4,800 but has had to have several months either off work, or on restricted duties, so has lost another few grand. How many people could afford to be £10k down before knowing whether their claim might justify instructing a solicitor?

There are lots of people posting on here about this, but I am hearing very little about what APIL/MASS/TLS are actually doing. We have seen how to get into the mainstream media and bring your voice to the wider audience by the way in which Junior Doctors have handled their situation this year. We simply cannot sit back and roll over.

Anonymous @ 1.06pm, or indeed anyone else up for a fight, now is the time for us to stand up and be counted I think.

How many PI professionals are there? How many PI clients (who currently probably know nothing of this, but in fact, whose claim could currently be underway only to find that there will be a retrospective rule that says their costs can't be claimed from the insurer even if they win). We really need to get the message out to clients and motivate them, and ourselves, to take proactive measures to get the message out there!
