I am presenting three webinars on fatal accident litigation for later this year.  These deal with recent developments in fatal accident litigation; children and fatal cases and the difficult issue of damages in anticipation of death and claims for losses prior to death.

Recent cases in fatal accident litigation – what can we learn from them: 25th September 2023

This webinar looks at recent cases in relation to liability, quantum and damages involving fatal accident victims.

It considers what litigators can learn from those cases and the practical implications going forward.

It considers:
