A Norwich Union (NU) report calling for the modernisation of Britain's compensation system has come under fire from The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) .
A report issued today by NU recommends there are radical changes to the way injured people are supported. It also places emphasis on the need for resources to be more “efficiently engaged.”
The company said reforms at government level would phase out the “have a go culture” which encourages people to be more risk averse.
APIL said it was “particularly disappointing” that NU had released the report on the day an Early Day Motion was tabled in the Houses of Commons in support of it's call for a safer culture.
In a statement issued by APIL, it said: “What NU calls modernisation of the compensation system, is actually a euphemism for restricting access to justice for injured people.”
The two companies are already working alongside the ABI on a series of modernising initiatives.
