I was very happy to contribute to the PI Focus journal in My 2017. My article looked at why accommodation expert witnesses often have to look beyond the physical fabric of a building. The following is the full article.
Many of our clients have been involved in catastrophic accidents or clinical negligence. They may suffer from brain injury, spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs, cognitive and visual impairments. Some require very extensive care packages to support them in the community. Following the admission of liability, clients are awarded money to ensure their accommodation is suitable for their needs. In many cases, clients need to find a new home for both themselves and their family.
