Injury Victims Of Road Accidents

EDM number 407 in 2006-07, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 05/12/2006.

That this House opposes any increase in the small claims limit for personal injury cases; notes the petition from 25,000 injured road accident victims delivered to Downing Street in November 2006 expressing their opposition to proposals for an increase in the upper limit on motor injury small claims to as much as £5,000; notes that the petitioners all stated that they would not have been able to cope with pursuing their claim for injury compensation through the small claims process on their own; and believes that it would be wrong to deny justice to victims of road traffic accidents in cases where claims for £2,500 or £5,000 would represent several months of lost earnings for an average injured motorist unable to work.

This motion has been signed by a total of 100 MPs, 5 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
