\"ellieb_2015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week I\u00a0have settled a claim for a lady client who was involved in a Road Traffic Accident and suffered whiplash injuries to her neck and back. We were able to obtain physiotherapy for our client which assisted with her recovery before obtaining damages for her\u00a0of \u00a33,200.00.<\/p>\n

On Thursday 17.11.16 the Government published proposed reforms to the law which, if enacted, will remove or reduce injury compensation for minor whiplash cases and\u00a0 increase the small claims limit for all personal injury claims from \u00a31,000 to \u00a35,000. A consultation period has started and will end in the new year.<\/p>\n

If the reforms become law they will have a huge effect on Claimants and\u00a0solicitors will, in most cases,\u00a0be unable to achieve fair settlements for clients\u00a0as we have in our case this week. Millions of people will be denied access to justice if these reforms are introduced and will either have no claim to pursue after an accident or have to take claims in person against insurers and their lawyers. Insurance companies will make greater profits. They claim that we will all see a reduction to our motor insurance premiums of \u00a340 to \u00a350 each, but there is no guarantee that there will be any <\/em>reductions, particularly after the Chancellor of the Exchequer increased Insurance Premium Tax earlier this week.<\/p>\n

We are supporting the Access to Justice Campaign and hope that you can too. Please visit www.accesstojusticeactiongroup.co.uk<\/a><\/strong> for more information. Please support the campaign to protect the rights of\u00a0injured\u00a0people\u00a0being\u00a0reduced by the Government for the benefit of the insurance industry.<\/p>\n

If you would like advice about any kind of personal injury claim, please call me on 0114 218 4233 or email me at eleanor.buckley@tayloremmet.co.uk<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I do\u00a0hope you all have a wonderful accident- free weekend – but beware of Black Friday shoppers!<\/p>\n
