We have been paying for years TTT, and its mostly the fault of the insurance companies. They shouldn't be paying out for "whiplash" injuries.
When I had a serious accident in 2011, writing off my car, the first remark from most of my friends and acquaintances was....."make a claim for whiplash"
I also had calls from companies, some of them solicitors, offering to help me in a claim for unspecified injuries.
The whole business is corrupt from top to bottom.

I'm wondering whether you are aware of the legal environment in which insurance companies operate- professional claims management companies, levels of damages etc. There has of course been fraud but it's claimants not insurance companies who make claims and there have been medical professionals who will provide claimants with a professional medical opinion that the claimant the courts seem to accept if the claim isn't settled amicably
The story is about insurance companies saying they will have to increase premiums due them having to now pay out more to people with "life-long, life-changing injuries".
This is a different story to the one about insurance companies saying they will have to increase premiums due them having to now pay out to low life scum with fake whiplash claims.

One of the contributing factors to this problem is the existence of so-called "claims farmers". These are (legitimate) businesses whose function is to introduce third party insurance claims to firms of solicitors/accident management companies, in exchange for either a fixed fee per claim, or a percentage of any damages awarded. In the same way, the solicitor/accident management company handling the claim will seek their own costs from the third party. The claims farmers play the volume game, i.e. the more claims they sell, the more fees they get, so there can be a temptation to sell legally-fragile claims or even outright fraudulent ones. The claims farming business model is often run on a telesales commission-led basis, so individual telesales agents can be tempted to do anything to get a sale, even by 'inventing' accidents. This is what gives rise to the telephone calls offering to make claims for an accident you haven't had. The situation can be compounded if the solicitor or associated party (medical 'expert', car hire company, forensic mechanic, etc.) is less than scrupulous and is willing to submit a report in favour of a dodgy claim so that the third party insurer will cough up their (often top-end) costs.
So, bear in mind that the lowlife scum inventing personal injury cases are not always individuals but can be so-called professional parties as well. Always best to use a trusted solicitor.
