There's a good quote from the AA man in this story about exaggerated and fraudulent personal injury claims causing insurance premiums to rise:
‘Personal injury claim rates in Britain are four times those of any other European country – yet we have fewer accidents.
‘Either we have excessively weak necks or people are responding to the personal injury claim lawyers.’
