Abstract:
What is it like to have caused injury to someone? Or be held responsible for it? How do causers of injuries (‘tortfeasors’) relate to their victims? To what extent are they involved in the settlement of personal injury claims? How does the injurious event affect them personally? And what can legal professionals learn from the experiences of the tortfeasor?
