Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Stephen Watkins:
From the data we have, there is no evidence to show that one gets more by using a solicitor. We make awards based predominantly on the medical information we get, which comes from the treating doctors' report and independent medical specialists we commission to look at cases. We are not making the award on what a solicitor says.
