Eighteen years ago, the average car insurance premium cost 3. Today, it is 1,5. The Mail on Sunday Live magazine reveals how Britains scandalously exploited motorists are being taken for a very expensive ride. Marek Majewski is an accountant who drives a Renault Espace. He is not the kind of person youd associate with reckless abandon when behind the wheel of his car. Nonetheless, the unblinking Leviathan that is the modern motor insurance industry took a very different view when he and his wife Wendy, a 5.

She could see that the right hand side of the bumper had rubber marks on it from their tyre. As they got out of the car, the taxi owner approached them. My husband took a picture of the damage and we swapped details. The idea was to get a price because there was no point in going to the insurance company. As far as we were concerned it was sorted. In fact, it was far from sorted. Today, a minor car crash is the trigger for an entire industry of opportunistic businessmen and trade professionals to go to work and extract as much money from the incident as possible. Thus, one month later Wendy received a letter from a firm of solicitors in Blackburn, Lancashire, who were now representing the taxi driver. The letter claimed Mr Majewshi sic had driven recklessly, did not keep ample distance between both vehicles, did not take sufficient care and attention. But it was the fifth paragraph that caught Wendys eye and inflamed her. It claimed the taxi driver had suffered from a whiplash type injury, she says. I couldnt believe it. He wasnt in the car.

Live has uncovered an extraordinary High Court case from 2. Norwich Union now Aviva. It centres on a secret agreement for Aviva clients to be referred to solicitor Chantal Reed in return for payments. Reed told the court that the written agreements, drawn up when referral fees were illegal, were deliberately phrased to conceal the true relationship by using subsidiaries to funnel payments to Norwich Union. Judge Sir Anthony May noted that this deal was merely a device to obscure the fact that a Norwich Union company was to receive payment in return for making referrals. But the fact that referral fees are, for the time being, legal hasnt made insurers any more transparent about pocketing them. In a letter weve seen from motor insurance giant Royal Sun Alliance to a client, the company notes that it has a relationship with two specialist law firms.
