Jasmine Murphy speaks at MBL: Injuries Caused by Animals – A Guide for PI
The Animals Act 1971 is notoriously difficult to understand, meaning that many claims come unstuck whether in statements of case, the evidence required and even at trial.
This course is aimed at claimant and defendant personal injury lawyers and will enable you to analyse the various causes of action together with the strengths and weaknesses of cases involving personal injury caused by animals.
This seminar is being held in Cardiff and Manchester.
