The Association of British Insurers warns change in Discount Rate for Personal Injury claims may be a mistake (28 February 2017)
Date: 28/02/2017
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has warned that a move by the Lord Chancellor to change the Discount Rate applied when calculating compensation payments for personal injury (PI) claims could lead to an increase in insurance premiums for millions of people.
The discount rate is a figure used to calculate lump sum payments for people who suffer a severe personal injury, taking into account what return they are likely to receive when the sum is invested.
The Discount Rate has been set at 2.5% since 2001. However, Justice Secretary Liz Truss is expected to announce a change in the rate by the end of February.
Director General of the ABI, Huw Evans, said:
“This is an unnecessary review being carried out using a broken and outdated formula that does not reflect how claimants actually invest the money they receive. Millions of customers could see their premiums increase unnecessarily if Liz Truss continues down this path.”
