'So we are cracking down on minor.....whiplash claims'

As its stands this announcement does nothing of the kind. Claimants will still be able to claim the same amount but just have a bigger percentage lost in legal fees.

So we must assume that this comment refers to the coming fixed tariff, which will be set so low as to make it uneconomic for law firms and probably even CMC's to get involved. Bearing in mind that someone will have to front up the disbursements and there will be no pre meds its hard to see these being run by LIPs.

It seems to me that this will all but wipe out passenger claims save those with large loss of earnings and accordingly it will be the children, the old and the most vulnerable who will bear the brunt.
