CPD Webinar: The changing Ogden rate and how it will reduce liability premiums

How liability rates will significantly fall from January 2025 due to the recent Ogden rate reduction? The Ogden rate is used by courts to increase or decrease large personal injury liability claims. It was one of the main reasons why the market went so hard in recent years when the rate started loading liability settlements, and it will be one of the man reasons why we will now go into a softer market due to the fact it will start discounting liability settlements from 10 January 2025. This presentation will be delivered by Alan Chandler, Chartered Insurer, and he will explain what the Ogden rate is and how it affects liability settlements
