Insurance Industry Reform: Motion.
There should be an onus on people to prove their injuries. It is totally unfair that someone can claim for a so-called whiplash injury and there is no onus on them to prove it. There should be an onus on people to prove they are genuinely injured and by all means, if they are, they should be compensated. This would eliminate fraudulent claims. As Senator Ó Murchú correctly pointed out, such people are defrauding every one of us and adding hundreds of euro to everyone's annual premiums.
