Redress Schemes for Personal Injuries

[T]his is a very useful contribution to our knowledge of compensation schemes and provides much-needed analysis at a time when traditional compensation systems are under increasing scrutiny. It is also to be commended for shining a light on schemes not necessarily familiar to common law scholars and for providing a useful resource for further discussion of alternatives to the court-based system of compensation. -- Ursula Connolly, National University of Ireland, Galway * The Irish Jurist * [T]his book is a genuinely useful resource for anyone interested in the question of whether there is a better way to deal with accidental injuries than a system predicated on fault... Perhaps this book will provide the impetus for a radical new look at the question of how we should compensate for accidents. -- Per Laleng, School of Law, University of Kent * European Journal of Health Law * The work gives profound insights and very detailed descriptions of the material conditions and procedures of the respective compensation systems. It is thus an extraordinarily exhaustive, legally, factually and socio-legally highly interesting foundation for any kind of discussion about compensation concepts. (Translated from the original German) -- Johannes Riedel * MedizinRecht * Redress Schemes for Personal Injuries is a well-balanced description of compensation schemes from around the world. The book offers a comprehensive overview of a large number of existing compensation schemes, with a detailed description of their background and functioning. It is an informative, stimulating, and challenging book. -- Sebastian Peyer, University of East Anglia * Medical Law Review *
