Growing calls for Employers’ Liability Insurance Bureau

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has backed Hendon MP, Andrew Dismore, in his call for the government to set up an Employers’ Liability Insurance Bureau (ELIB), which would act as a compensation fund of last resort for workers who find themselves blocked from claiming for work-related injuries and diseases. The move follows publication of government figures which show the insurance industry is letting down thousands of injured people by failing to trace the information they need to make a claim.
