Insurers line up to back government’s whiplash proposals

whiplash-2016

New consultation to run until 6 January 2017.

Insurers have moved swiftly to back the Ministry of Justice's (MoJ) launch of a consultation on proposals designed to reduce the number of whiplash claims.

According to the MoJ, the current number of whiplash claims is "unacceptably high" fuelled by a "predatory" claims industry and exaggerated and fraudulent claims.

It highlighted that insurers have committed to passing on savings putting it at an average of £40 for drivers.
