A month after putting the brakes on reforms to personal injury claims relating to whiplash, the Ministry of Justice has re-launched a consultation on this contentious area.
The department said in a statement today (17 November) it plans to scrap the right to compensation or put a cap on the amount people can claim for minor whiplash injuries. Capping compensation would see the average pay-out cut from £1,850 to a maximum amount of £425.
