Official Injury Claim goes live today, with personal injury lawyers and insurers dealing with potentially the biggest change to the secton in almost a decade.
The portal for RTA claims up to £5,000, designed for unrepresented claimants, has been delayed 13 months but is finally ready to go. We asked leading industry figures whether it is ready and what the next few weeks and months have in store.
