About this title

Synopsis

This book is intended to assist the personal injury practitioner when considering new enquiries and when handling beauty claims – it is an entry level guide and will be especially useful for practitioners who have not undertaken this work before and are looking to expand their service offering.

Part One of the book describes common beauty treatments with a brief explanation as to how they should be performed by a competent practitioner. Key practice notes are provided. This section also addresses the common problems and how to help your client pursue a claim for compensation while avoiding the common pitfalls.

Part Two is intended to be a practical guide for practitioners and includes a sample client questionnaire and risk assessment checklist. It also considers patch tests, claims involving children, disclosure and public liability insurance issues. There is also a chapter discussing cosmetic surgery claims.

This guide will assist as a useful resource to personal injury practitioners when dealing with beauty negligence claims.
