Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Ms Sara Moorhead:
It would be a useful question to ask the Injuries Board. We think it may be engaging with the insurance companies in about 70% of those cases. If it is getting the information it is a much more realistic picture because it does not only involve judges' awards, which are quite a small number because only 10% of cases go to court. However, we do not know and we never received confirmation as to whether the insurance companies are giving the Injuries Board all the information on the cases they are settling. If they are, that will be a useful tool.
