Accident victims with serious injuries must receive the compensation they deserve – Burgon

Richard Burgon MP, Labour’s Shadow
Justice Secretary,
commenting on the announcement that the Government will change the way
compensation pay-outs are calculated, said:

“This proposal by the Government
must be scrutinised very closely.

“Accident victims with serious
injuries must receive the compensation they deserve to live their lives to the
fullest and there will be real concerns that such victims are set to lose out.

“The Government claims that this
move could see motorists benefit from lower car insurance premiums. Ministers
must ensure any savings to the motor insurance industry that result from these
proposals are passed on to hard-pressed motorists rather than lining the
pockets of executives.“
