Warnings have been issued over a ‘toxic’ slime borax ingredient that children may be being exposed to unsafe levels of.

The popular children’s slime toys have been tested by consumer group Which? and the results are worrying.

It’s understood that the ingredients lists may simply say ‘contact lens solution’ which contains borax, the levels of which are not actually listed.

In the same way there are a lot of unanswered questions over the liability and indemnity for autonomous vehicles, the same questions are also plaguing the growing use of drones.

You can buy outdoor drones and use them with barely any restrictions, but let’s face it; they can be dangerous and are known to come down unexpectedly or end up out of control.

With companies like Amazon wanting to use them for delivering parcels, we can safely say that the insurance and liability ought to rest with them; but what about the drones being used for personal use causing someone some serious damages?

Last October, the U.K.’s top judicial body, the Supreme Court, held a local authority vicariously liable for the abuse suffered by a foster child.

Personal injury compensation is awarded to someone who has been involved in an accident that was not their fault. Those that have been injured due to someone else’s negligence can generally recover two things: general damages, and special damages.

General damages are to compensate for any pain, suffering, or loss amenity due to the injury. Special damages covers expenses and future losses that a person will incur directly because of the incident. This can include travel expenses, clothing, loss of earnings etc…

This financial settlement is meant to help those who have suffered an injury to get their life back on track, or as near as, before the injury happened. So how do we calculate a claim for a broken arm, for example?

Well, there is nothing that legally stops you from being offered a 100% compensation agreement, but for most types of cases it is highly unlikely.

Sadly the law changed two years ago and the government stopped you from recovering all of your legal fees from the opponent. Just to add insult to injury, the government also introduced tighter fixed fees and slashed the costs that lawyers can recover to unworkable amounts.

Trust me – what we can recover is grossly below the level of work we have to do on many cases.
