Personal Injury Lawyers Warn Consumers About Insurers Compensation Practices

The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers APIL is warning consumers about what has become known as ‘third party capture’, a practice which involves an insurance company settling a claim directly with a personal injury victim of a policyholder, without the victim receiving independent legal advice.

The war of words from the APIL comes in reaction to what it sees as the latest attempt by the insurance industry to encourage the practice, the Association of British Insurers ABI having just launched a voluntary code of practice for insurers which it describes as ‘third-party assistance’.
