Universal Personal Injury Insurance -New Zealand's Solution

Additional Information

New Zealand’s Accident Compensation Commission administers legislation that creates a social contract whereby individuals give up their right to sue for compensatory damages in exchange for comprehensive accident insurance cover and compensation.
In 1967 New Zealand abandoned a litigious, fault-based system, toward a completely new ‘no-fault’ approach to compensation for personal injury. Specifically it addressed;
-all injuries to earners whether occurring at work or not, funded by a flat-rate levy on employers for the cost of all injuries to their employees.
-all motor vehicle injuries, funded by a levy on owners of motor vehicles and drivers.
New Zealand ACC is now governed by the Accident Compensation Act 2001 under the same core principles.
This petition proposes that the creation of a similar body would greatly benefit the UK. At the very least it will reduce insurance costs for motorists and businesses, and fairly end the culture of personal injury litigation.
