Personal injury

Injured people should be at the heart of policymaking

The new president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has vowed to “look outwards at the challenges” facing victims of negligence and the personal injury sector. Kim Harrison, a child abuse and public inquiry specialist from Manchester, said: “Central to our ongoing work has to be the generating of a better understanding of personal injury and the needs of the injured people we look after, so that injured people are at the heart of policymaking instead of so often being the victims of policymaking.”
