The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has announced a campaign calling for legislative change to equalise compensation treatment for all asbestos-related lung cancer victims. The campaign is being conducted in collaboration with the Asbestos Victims Support Group Forum and West Dunbartonshire Labour MP, Douglas McAllister. Under the Compensation Act 2006, mesothelioma victims can obtain full compensation by tracing a single former employer, whereas asbestos-related lung cancer victims must trace all responsible employers or their insurers to receive full compensation. The campaign seeks to extend the same compensation framework to asbestos-related lung cancer victims. McAllister will raise the campaign during an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on 16 March 2026.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and Forum of Insurance Lawyers (FOIL) have announced for more law firms and insurers to sign up to the Serious Injury Guide, which marks its tenth anniversary in October 2025. The guide, a joint initiative with major insurers launched in 2015, is used for catastrophic personal injury cases with damages exceeding £250,000, excluding clinical negligence and asbestos claims. The guide transforms the claims process into a collaborative approach that places the injured person at the center, according to APIL president Matthew Tuff. Key features include regular updates, agreed timeframes, and early discussions about effective rehabilitation, interim payments, and funding under the Rehabilitation Code.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has called on the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to establish a mandatory national register for medical products including pacemakers and artificial heart valves. The proposal, made in response to the pelvic mesh scandal that caused life-changing complications for thousands of women, aims to create a publicly accessible database to track device safety issues. APIL also urged the MHRA to implement tougher regulation with more rigorous checks on new medical products entering the UK market.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has highlighted the urgent need for new legislation that guarantees individuals injured in collisions involving driverless cars access to crucial collision data stored on these vehicles to support their compensation claims. As the Department for Transport currently consults on self-driving vehicles to develop safety regulations, APIL states that the law must keep pace with driverless technology, including automated vehicles and those with semi-automated features like lane assist or cruise control. APIL is calling for a duty of disclosure that would require companies to share collision data with insurers and regulators but also with injured parties and their legal representatives. Such a measure would ensure that essential evidence is properly retained and protected, preventing injured individuals from having to battle large corporations for access to data that may confirm that a driverless car was the cause of their harm.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has urged the government to expand the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) to enable more survivors of child sexual abuse, including victims of online grooming, to receive compensation. Working with Rotherham MP Sarah Champion, APIL is supporting an amendment to the Victims and Courts Bill, to be debated on 27 October, that would implement recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). The proposal aims to extend the time limit for applications to seven years from when an offence is reported or from a victim’s 18th birthday, and to remove the automatic exclusion of survivors with unspent convictions where such offences are linked to their abuse. APIL’s immediate past president, Kim Harrison, and Champion both stated that these changes are necessary to ensure fair access to redress for survivors who have long faced unjust barriers under the current system.

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has published written evidence it submitted to the Justice Committee outlining how successive government reforms have undermined access to justice for injured victims of negligence. APIL argues that such individuals have become ‘second-class citizens’ in civil litigation, as measures including the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 and the Civil Liability Act 2018 have eroded the principle of full compensation and widened a “justice gap” in personal injury claims.
