In October 2018 the government will increase the “small claims” limit in road traffic accidents from £1,000 to £5,000. This means that in personal injury claims under £5,000, you cannot claim your legal costs from the insurers and you have to pay them yourselves. This will mean paying more in costs out of your whiplash compensation claim.
In some cases, personal injury solicitors will reject claims that are not economical to bring. Claimants would then have to represent themselves against insurers and this is likely to lead to insurers under-settling or rejecting genuine compensation claims.
Secondly, the government will dramatically reduce the payouts for whiplash compensation claims. The proposed cut in whiplash compensation means that someone injured in a car crash could suffer pain for 9 months and receive over £2000 now but after October 2018 they will only be paid £500.

Mark Hunter, solicitor and owner of Mackrell and Thomas, no win no fee personal injury solicitors in Liverpool, says that the government plans are unfair. They will remove the rights of personal injury accident victims to claim for accident compensation which is a breach of an individual’s right, which has been in place for over 100 years. It could mean the end of “no win no fee” representation in many compensation claims.
The government says that insurers will pass on any savings. However based on previous changes to personal injury claims process, the insurers are not likely to pass on any savings to motorists.
