The results of the latest Law Times online poll are in.
In the continuing battle between personal injury lawyers and the insurance industry over who’s responsible for high auto insurance costs, a large number of responders say they’re both to blame.
According to the poll, 46 per cent of poll participants feel both groups “are in it for themselves.”
Another 37 per cent of responders sided with personal injury lawyers, saying the insurance industry makes plenty of money.
The remaining 17 per cent of participants took the side of the insurers and said personal injury lawyers are driving up costs through generous contingency fees.
The poll follows a report released by the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association that suggested drivers are paying far too much in premiums due to the excessive profits earned by insurance companies. The Insurance Bureau of Canada has responded that lawyers are to blame for high costs through high legal fees.
