You will find here the latest news from the personal injury legal industry as well as information relating to Bott & Co and our company developments and events.
Personal injury law currently has a high profile both politically and in the mainstream media and there is a good deal of news items relating to personal injury. While Bott & Co stress the importance of keeping the rights of the injured victims at the forefront of any debate, this view doesn't always appear to be supported in the wider news coverage.
We will keep you informed through these latest news articles on any industry and business developments.
A SUPREME COURT ruling will enable thousands of people to make insurance claims on behalf of family members who died as a result of exposure to asbestos.
Each year 2,500 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma, the cancer caused by inhaling asbestos fibres, and cases can go as far back as the 1940s because the length of time it takes for symptoms of the disease to appear.
Agony for Wilmslow High School's Rugby Team
The Bott & Co sponsored Wilmslow High School rugby first XV made it to the quarter finals of this year's Daily Mail cup, a national tournament with the final at Twickenham – this is the highest level of rugby in the country for this age group.
In their quarter final home game last week, and cheered on by Gary, Paul and David, they were one kick away from making it through to the semi finals when their usually reliable kicker managed to drift a penalty 6 inches wide of the posts with what was the very last kick of the game.
Government on a Collision Course with Motoring
It is somewhat confusing that on one hand the Government wants to appease motorists by increasing the maximum speed limit on motorways yet is putting the victims of motor accidents at risk of not receiving their due compensation because of proposed legislation around referral fees.
While the Parliamentary Advisory Council on Transport Safety have said the new 80mph limit will lead to as much as a 10 per cent increase in motorway casualties, the Government insist that the change will help the economy by reducing travel time on the roads. But as the current average speed on the motorways is only 69mph then raising the maximum limit may not be as effective as they think.
Bott & Co Launch the Bott Academy
We believe in nuturing and developing our staff and the Bott Academy has been established to support any Bott & Company staff member in developing their professional career with associated study programmes.
More than a quarter of Bott & Co staff have benefited from the scheme and courses have ranged from completion of the ILEX programme to accounting.
In order to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to supporting staff in their learning and continued professional development, we have formalised their program of support by setting up this Academy.
