According to a Croydon MP, there is disarray in compensation for riot hit businesses and tenants.

Lack of idea on compensation administration under the Riot Act for the Home Office was discovered by Malcolm Wicks, MP for Croydon North.

In August, he visited two victims in his constituency, which was ravaged by rioters.

 “The speed at which the claims are being processed would embarrass a self-respecting snail.It is unacceptable that my constituents are being left in financial crisis due to the woeful way in which the claims are being handled.Despite the riots being central to Home Office responsibility, it is clear that the Home Secretary has no idea whatsoever how claims under the Riot Act are being dealt with or how many people have received compensation. It is a shambles,” said Mr Wicks.

In order to remind Prime Minister, David Cameron, of the promises he has made in order to secure the desperately needed compensation for the victims of Croydon’s riots, a letter has been written by Mr Wicks.

An alarm about a surge in premiums, which have shot up more than 20% since 2009 has led to the Office of Fair Trading’s investigation

A jump in personal injury claims and fraud has been termed as the cause by insurers. After an accident, the OFT’s “market study” is looking at hefty bills from garages and car-hire firms.

If, after a crash, one of the drivers accepts blame (or they are proved at fault) their insurer normally pays the other person’s repair bill, and often the cost of a courtesy car while their vehicle is in the garage.

However, according to the OFT it’s possible insurers are being hit with over-the-top claims for both.

Reports claim that a significant head injury was suffered by Joseph Malasi after a collision with a taxi in Bedford in September 2007 and he subsequently launched legal action against driver Maqsood Ahmad.

Terming that will only be eligible for 20 per cent of the value of this claim, Judge Richard Seymour at the High Court has now ruled that the 23-year-old can seek damages against the driver's insurers.
