Increase in average personal injury claim in 2020, says ABI

The average personal injury claim rose by 13 per cent to £12,100 in 2020, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), even though the number of motor insurance claims settled by insurers in 2020 fell by 19 per cent. The ABI said this unsurprising fall reflected the Covid lockdowns during the year, which led to significantly fewer vehicle journeys.
