APIL boss says motor rises welcomed to combat negligence

Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) chief executive, Denise Kitchener has defended 20% in motor insurance premiums because of personal injury claims costs.

In a letter to the Belfast Telegraph she wrote: “If someone is injured and suffering because of someone else's negligence, that person is absolutely within his rights to claim fair redress - regardless of the severity of the injury.

“The fact that more people are becoming aware of their rights should be welcomed and it should also be noted that a claim for compensation cannot succeed unless negligence is proven.”
