Whiplash reforms post-implementation review: Call for Evidence

Overview

This Call for Evidence seeks to gather expert opinion, data and evidence on the impact and effectiveness of the Whiplash Reform Programme to inform the post-implementation review.

The review will assess the measures introduced in Part 1 of the Civil Liability Act 2018. This includes the statutory definition of a whiplash injury, the fixed tariff of damages for whiplash injuries where the duration of the injury (or injuries) does not exceed two years, and the ban on seeking or offering to settle a whiplash claim without medical evidence.

Responses to this Call for Evidence will provide vital insight into the impact of the Whiplash Reform Programme on claimant choice, proportionate compensation for whiplash claims, and the number and cost of these claims. The input and evidence gathered will be considered alongside data provided by operational partners and other government departments.
