Yesterday, on the "Pat Kenny Show", someone from the Insurance Industry said the reason more stuff was not settled at the Injuries Board was the responsibility of the claimants and the lawyers. I put that to the Injuries Board and its spokespersons said that was not the case. They said that in more cases the responsibility was on the insurance companies, because they have first refusal. The claimants have to go to the Injuries Board and the insurance company gets to decide if it accepts this or not.
