Although most of my work was for Insurers and the ubiquitous neck-sprain claim was a much abused malady, I handled a fair quantity of claimant motor work.
It is all very well the MoJ and ignorant politicians playing "pickasticks" with PI litigation, but, albeit only, two of my "whiplash claims involved vertebral fractures.
Pulling the rug out will prevent proper investigation and produce missed serious injuries.
The appropriate remedy for runaway costs claims is to bring back the old County Court Scale costs set within parameters by the amount recovered.
Injuries require proper investigations to ensure genuine and appropriate compensation. Our so-called Lord Chancellor, neither a Lord nor a Chancellor or even a lawyer should learn this simple lesson and not try to recapitalise Insurers by stupid, arbitrary steps that rest up the fabric of settled law and practise.
