Dear Mr. Lee,

Subject: Letter of Advice

First of all, I would take this opportunity to thank you for allowing us to facilitate you in your case. I have gone through the documents you have provided and also reviewed our discussion on the other day to assess your case. I am glad to inform you that your claim has substantial weight on your side and given certain conditions, we can win a claim for compensation against your injuries. However, before I go through my assessment, I would like to briefly state the facts which have helped in my assessment. It is important to state these facts so that we can cross match the facts and avoid any wrong statement later on which might be caused due to mis-interpretation or human error in noting the facts.

On 31st Dec, 2010, you suffered critical injuries when tinny driven by you struck with a party boat operated by autopilot at the time of collision. The Maritime Safety Queensland Collision Rules were breached by both parties equally; however you were young and inexperience, the other party should have an attendant to steer the ship at all times. As a result of the accident, you have been diagnosed with Deep lacerations to his left cheek; A haematoma over the lumbar region; and Fractured vertebraes - the right transverse processes of the L2, L3 and L4 vertebrate. Due to financial constraints, you could not afford physiotherapy which has greatly helped you even though it was highly helped you in recovery. Apart from this, Lee was also diagnosed with an adjustment disorder, and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

In regard to your case, I have found substantial evidence of Contributory Negligence. However, before we went into details without your case context, it is important to understand the scope and meaning of contributory negligence. CN is a crucial component in injury compensation claims since it can have an influence on how much reimbursement one receive against a claim on his/her personal injury and might entail the span of time one requires to stay for the settlement of an injury compensation. CN can be categorized into self contributory negligence or Multi-contributory negligence. As the term suggests, the first one refers to negligence made only by the plaintiff, on the contrary, the second type encompasses negligence made by other parties along with the plaintiff. In your particular case, the facts indicate that second type of contributory negligence. However, the other party violated the Maritime Safety Queensland Collision Rules by leaving the helm unattended.

There are two different sets of circumstances in which contributory negligence becomes a factor in an injury compensation claim. The first is when you have contributed to your injuries by your own lack of diligence, and the second is when two or more negligent parties may be liable for an accident. Whereas multi-contributory negligence might not have affect on how much damages you will receive against ...
