Personal injury compensation cases in the United Kingdom: The use of American vocational assessment tools in personal injury compensation.
This article describes the role of vocational assessment in personal injury compensation cases in the United Kingdom. An outline is given of some of the difficulties the writer has confronted in getting vocational assessment accepted as a legitimate resource in such cases, and the rationale for using American vocational assessment tools is presented. Finally, reference is made to two key legal rulings. The first ruling threatened the use of vocational assessment, and the second went some way toward redressing the balance.
