And, it is you who make sure that these vulnerable, injured people, and their families, are not in that fight alone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cMore than ever, we need a strong, united voice\u2026 APIL is proud to be that voice and proud to be the champion of the claimant PI sector,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Matthew is committed to APIL\u2019s flagship Rebuilding Shattered Lives campaign, which aims to rebuild trust in personal injury lawyers and put injured people at the heart of policymaking. Another key issue on his agenda is the \u201cincreasing abuse of fundamental dishonesty rules\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cIt is awful that a claimant who may have experienced catastrophic injuries and psychological trauma is, on top of everything else, wrongly accused of dishonesty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Mr Tuff also lauded the Serious Injury Guide, a collaborative project with FOIL which marks its 10th anniversary this year and is a tool he uses himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cAs a mature, modern, pragmatic organisation, APIL is open to collaborating with defendant organisations if this can help to achieve positive outcomes for victims of negligence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">New postholders on APIL\u2019s executive committee were also announced at the annual general meeting today. Sabrina Lawlor, from Thompsons Solicitors, is the association\u2019s representative for Northern Ireland and James Byrne of Deka Chambers takes the dedicated barrister seat. Jonathan Scarsbrook from Irwin Mitchell and Erin Darling-Finan from Amicus Law have been elected as additional officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h6>Image supplied by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apil.org.uk\/\">APIL<\/a><\/h6>\n<div class=\"author-info\">\n<div class=\"image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Francesca Kaye\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1261ea5328a2cf3cc6c810e08fef53eec00b28461af93fd0f30ce984ac8035fc?s=96&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1261ea5328a2cf3cc6c810e08fef53eec00b28461af93fd0f30ce984ac8035fc?s=96&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" alt=\"Francesca Kaye\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personal injury lawyers need to be ready to shout loudly about the difference they make to people\u2019s lives, APIL\u2019s incoming president has said.
