Whiplash claims up, road accident injuries down

Data from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFA) shows whiplash type claims continue to increase despite Police statistics showing a decrease in road accident injuries. The latest report from the IFA looking at third party motor UK claims data, which collates and analyses data from across the motor insurance industry for 2011, shows a marked discrepancy between Police data for road accident injuries since 2006 and the number of injury claims made to insurers.
