The general principal in personal injury compensation law is that the liable party should, as far as it is possible to do so put the injured person back in the position they were in prior to the injuries. This generally takes the form of medical treatment and if the person has not made a recovery they may have an entitlement to damages. The injured person will often face allegations that they would be in the same position regardless of the accident due to a disease or injury that they had before the accident.
