The costs of personal injury litigation are excessive, says this claimant lawyer. This is why. A claimant had a claim for his damaged vehicle and personal injury. Straightforward rear-end shunt. The insurance company took the case all the way to multi-track trial on a hunch and the claimant was awarded £2,500 damages. The judge criticised the defendant insurer's investigator for withholding evidence and ordered indemnity costs be paid. The total costs were: claimant £25,000, defendant £30,000.


If costs are too high this is because insurers make them too high.
