It also goes on to clarify the logical and methodological steps required for a sequential, in-depth ascertainment of any traumatic event and the related personal damage, both pecuniary and non-pecuniary. Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to the\nbody, mind or emotions suffered by the plaintiff under tort and\/or civil law\nregulations. Damages related to the injury can be pecuniary or non-pecuniary in\nnature. Although several comparative studies and research projects on tort and\ncivil law and personal injury claims aimed at developing new tools for\npromoting harmonization of private law have been performed at an international\nlevel, heterogeneity and divergences still exist in the definition and\ncompensation of personal injury and damage across different national legislative\nsystems. The starting point for any awarding procedure should be a medical, or rather a\nmedico-legal, assessment to gain evidence on the trauma or event causing the\ninjury, the mechanism of injury, the pre-existing health status of the injured\nparty, and the health consequences of the injury (temporary and permanent\nimpairment, work incapacity, etc.). In order to pursue the ultimate goal of an\ninternational harmonization of personal injury compensation, it is of upmost\nimportance to define the quality requirements for the medico-legal\nascertainment methodology, which are essential for guaranteeing the\nobjectivity, rigor, and reproducibility of the data and the evidence collection\nprocedure. Currently, there are no supra-national medico-legal guidelines dealing\nwith the ascertainment methodology of personal injury and damage under tort and\ncivil law. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319806594\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29812-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 700\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47697041588364,"sku":"9783319806594","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319806594.jpg?v=1776778224","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319806594","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
