GENUINE ACCIDENT AND INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIMS DEFENDED BY AYR
SOLICITOR AT EUROPEAN CONFERENCE
by Angus Logan
Ayr solicitor Angus Logan is the Scottish Secretary of the Pan-European
Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers (PEOPIL), and will be
flying to Budapest next week for its Annual Conference and General
Meeting, which takes place on 4/5 June.
Expected to be the biggest ever PEOPIL event to date, the conference
will be discussing topics including the impact of European law
on personal injury cases, the latest developments in EU law,
and the role of the European courts in personal injury legislation.
But for Angus Logan, one of the most important aspects of the
conference is that it disproves the common misconception that
the UK is fast adopting a US-style get-rich-quick compensation
culture.
Angus said: “This conference proves that lawyers, not
just here in Britain, but in every country in the recently expanded
European Union, is intent upon ensuring that those people who
through no fault of their own suffer injury or loss as a result
of the negligence of a third party receive full and adequate
compensation.
“Different countries have different legal systems in place
to deal with the problem. Here in Scotland, for instance, it
is necessary for the victim to prove blame on the part of somebody
else in order to receive compensation, whereas this is not so
much the case in (say) France, Scandinavia or New Zealand.
“And no accredited accident and injury solicitor would
have any truck with the legal system being clogged up with trivial
and vexatious claims.
“But what we all agree is that victims of accident or
injury should never be allowed to suffer unnecessary hardship
as a result, but instead the law should ensure that they receive
proper recompense from whomever contributed towards their loss.”
Angus Logan is director of the Accident & Injury Claims
Centre, a division of Ayr-based solicitors Frazer Coogans. The
Accident & Injury Claims Centre was set up in 1998 by Frazer
Coogans senior partner Norman Geddes.
