Kenworthy’s Chambers is pleased to announce ‘Drafting Witness Statements in Serious Injury Cases’, an online seminar that will take place on 19/09/23 from 4pm - 5pm. The second in Kenworthy’s Chambers Autumn series of CPD lectures for Personal Injury Solicitors, ‘Drafting Witness Statements in Serious Injury Cases’ will be hosted by Personal Injury Barrister Haroon Rashid.

This seminar will look at how to draft witness statements, examine what should be covered under each head and provide attendees with guidance on building the evidence needed to support complex schedules.

Witness statements are the single most important document in serious injury cases. They require a carefully crafted statement that clearly sets out the claimant’s losses and also tells a compelling story that will gain the courts’ sympathies.

The seminar will teach Personal Injury Lawyers how to methodically work through each head of loss in serious injury cases, and detail the documents needed in support of general damages.

Haroon Rashid will cover what can potentially be claimed in loss of earnings and list all the documents you need to support general damages. He will also cover an interesting case where no serious offer was made but after a complete statement settled for over £250k!

This seminar is aimed at Serious Injury Practitioners who want to perfect how to draft witness statements. Due to popular demand, there will be opportunities to ask questions.
