About Us

Background

PIBULJ.COM or give it its full title, The Personal Injury Brief Update Law Journal, was launched in 2006 and has grown to be the UK's leading online personal injury journal. It provides new articles each month on a wide variety of topics from liability and quantum to costs, civil procedure, credit hire and fraud and has an archive of well over 1000 articles. The articles have been written by over 200 barristers, solicitors and other experts and provide practical guidance specifically aimed at the busy personal injury practitioner.

Alongside the subscription Journal, we also provide a free personal injury newsletter by email called Personal Injury Brief Update (PIBU). This was launched in 2002 and has since grown into what is now a staple for the PI industry going out to around 11,000 people each month.

All of these are published by Law Brief Publishing Ltd  which was co-founded by Tim Kevan and Garry Wright (see below).
