Public consultation on the future of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board gets underway today

The Government wants to hear the views of the public on the future of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board.

A consultation for people starts today until 17th April with the hope that car insurance premiums could be reduced.

Guidelines on how to agree a fixed level for injury claims were agreed by Cabinet and judges earlier this month.

Junior Business Minister Robert Troy says claims could also be resolved faster with lower costs.
