<p>The provisions in Part One of the Civil Liability Act (the Act) apply to the occupants
of a motor vehicle whether or not they were injured in the course of their employment.
An impact assessment was published following the completion of the Parliamentary passage
of the Act, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-liability-bill"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-liability-bill</a>.</p><p>Following
implementation, the Government will monitor the management information produced by
the new Official Injury Claims service, including data on the impact of the measures
implemented through the Act and the supplementary measures to increase the small claims
limit for road traffic accident related personal injury claims.</p><p>All claimants,
will be able to access the new service which will enable the effective resolution
of their claim pre-court proceedings. Claimants will also be able to utilise the low
cost small claims track procedure, which is designed to be accessible and uncomplicated
should they need to progress their claim through the courts.</p>
