November 2017 - Fire Risk Assessments
In the UK it is a legal requirement for a fire risk assessment to be carried out on almost all premises where people could be working. ...too many small to medium size businesses do not have fire risk assessments in place which is putting themselves, their employees and their customers at risk!

What is the discount rate?
The discount rate is used to calculate the amount of compensation a severely injured person will receive to reflect the return they will earn when that money is invested. The objective is to make sure a person has the necessary financial security to provide for their care and loss of earnings.
Impact of the change:
The reduction means that those suffering from serious injuries will receive significantly higher compensation payments than before.
The substantial increase affects claims costs for all lines of business which see claims for bodily injury – including Private and Commercial Motor, Motor Trade, Casualty (Employers Liability, Other Liability and Contractors Liability) and SME.
The consequence of the Ogden (discount) rates amendments are unlikely to be obvious , however, the impact on premiums in certain areas will be significant and clients should anticipate increased premiums in all classes that include bodily injury: Private and Commercial Motor, Motor Trade, Employers Liability, Public/Products Liability, Contractors Liability etc.
Changes are immediate in some cases and we have already started to see the impact coming through from our insurer partners. Clients in high risk liability industries are likely to be most affected. For more information get in touch.
