Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL)

Watch Chris's Story, the latest film in the Rebuilding Shattered Lives campaign, below. Chris suffered a devastating workplace injury after his employer failed to provide him with personal protective equipment. In this new short film, he talks candidly about the debilitating impact of his injuries, both physical and mental, and how seeking help from solicitors was the turning point to getting his life back on track. The Rebuilding Shattered Lives campaign is for the entire personal injury sector to rally behind. Its aim is to tackle the harmful misconceptions about the purpose of personal injury compensation, and to ensure that victims are at the heart of any future policymaking which might affect them. #RebuildingShatteredLives

This is Charlie’s Story - the new powerful short film to support our flagship Rebuilding Shattered Lives campaign. His mother Kayleigh tells of the catastrophic, avoidable harm he suffered at birth which changed both of their lives forever. Children like Charlie and other victims of negligence must be at the heart of any policymaking about compensation and their right to redress. The Rebuilding Shattered Lives campaign is for the entire personal injury sector to get behind. The law on compensation for negligence, which is a lifeline for many seriously injured people, has come under near-constant attack for 15 years. Access to justice has been fundamentally undermined by a series of damaging policy decisions, while vitriolic rhetoric about injured people has been based on misinformation and misunderstanding. This is why the Rebuilding Shattered Lives campaign is sharing the stories of real injured people, to show everyone from members of the public to parliamentarians what redress means to ordinary families who have had their lives turned upside down by the negligence of others. To support, please share Charlie’s Story. #RebuildingShatteredLives #AccessToJustice #PersonalInjury #ClinicalNegligence #Lawyers #Negligence
