Insurance Institute Of Leeds Seminar - Claims For Personal Injury Following Road Traffic Accidents(08/09/10)
A technical events presentation by the North East Regional Group looking at Claims for Personal Injury following Road Traffic Accidents.
The Annual Seminar of the North East Regional Group of Insurance Institutes (NERG) has become a "must attend" event for many members of the insurance community in the region.
This year's seminar takes place on Wednesday 8 September, chaired by Chris Hanks, President of the Chartered Insurance Institute and deals with the highly topical subject of personal injury claims following Road Traffic Accidents. For accidents occuring on or after 30 April, 2010, most RTA personal injury claims are subject to new procedural regulations.
The objectives are to:-
- Streamline the processes, to provide injured parties with speedier settlements
- Reduce administration and paperwork for all parties
- Mimimise legal costs to insurers
The quid pro quo for insurers is that there are stringent response requirements, e.g. to declare a stance on liability within just 15 working days. Some interested parties are concerned that the changes may lead to premature admissions of liability and possibly an increased incidence of fraud.
Four months on from the implementation of these revisions, the NERG seminar will give attendees an opportunity to hear from industry experts, including presentations from:
- MIB Representative
- James Dalton from the ABI
- Jonathan Wearring from Ison Harrison Solicitors
- BIBA Representative
There wil be a chance to hear their views on how these revisions are working in practice and what the future holds for the sector and in particular of our business.
This seminar will be held at The Carriage Works, 3 Milennium Square, Leeds LS2 3AD on Wednesday 8 September, 2010; a buffet lunch will be served at 12.15pm. The seminar will commence at 1.10pm and will close at 4.30pm. There is a charge of 15.00 per delegate.
