OverviewCross-border litigation is becoming an increasingly significant element of national personal injury practice. Similarly, awareness of how neighbouring jurisdictions deal with similar problems leads to an increasing transfer of know-how and legal knowledge. European legislators and the European Court of Human Rights are also having a greater impact on national law. Moreover, any future developments in the field of personal injury and secondary victims must take into account the potential scope for harmonisation. This book is an essential reference work for practising lawyers, judges, academics, insurers, institutions and practitioners involved in the field of personal injury.
