DESCRIPTION:\nIf people are injured in traffic or industrial accident\, or
  through medical negligence\, they can seek compensation through civil cou
 rts. &nbsp\;Serious injuries might result in long-term impairments\, such 
 as being unable to walk. &nbsp\;People might require lifelong social or me
 dical support. Part of a claim is typically for sufficient money to ensure
  a reasonable quality of life. Estimating the quantum - what is sufficient
  - requires the input of several disciplines. An important contribution is
  estimating how long a person is expected to live.\n\n\nSolicitors' letter
 s regarding life expectancy include questions such as:\n\n\nHow long is my
  client who suffered injuries at birth expected to live?\n\n\nMy client su
 ffered a serious spinal cord injury in a road accident. He is a smoker. Wh
 at is his life expectancy?\n\n\nMy client notified the NHS of her new addr
 ess\, but her appointment for cancer surgery was sent to her old address. 
 What is her life expectancy given the delay in surgery\, and what would it
  have been but for the error?\n\nWe will use several statistical technique
 s to address these questions.\n\n&nbsp\;\n
