MOTOR ACCIDENTS ACT 1988 - SECT 34A

34A Objects--Part 4

The objects of this Part are:

(a) to encourage and support recovery from injury and the use of early and appropriate rehabilitation for people injured in motor accidents so that they can return, as far as possible, to their pre-accident lifestyle, and

(b) to place obligations on insurers and claimants in order to encourage and facilitate that process, and

(c) to recognise the importance of rehabilitation in achieving greater cost efficiencies in injury management, and

(d) to stress that rehabilitation must not be ignored or attempted in a perfunctory way in order to maximise a claim for damages.
