The report notes that in recent years, the government has implemented major reforms in respect of personal injury compensation for whiplash with the objective of reducing the number and cost of claims. As part of this, since 2021 OIC, has been in operation to support individuals who have suffered minor injuries arising from a road traffic accident to claim compensation, without the need for legal help.
