COMPENSATION EXPERT
Under our laws the chances of the bereaved or seriously injured winning a claim for compensation are remote.
Who wins and who loses is as big a lottery as the Grand

Roisin McAuley asks if there should be a change in the law to put need before blame. Researcher LOUISE HIBBINS Producer JOHN DRURY Editor COLIN CAMERON BBC North West
