Criticism has been wide, such as an Arilla woman by the name of Tammy Kirkwood, vice-chair of the Fair Association of Victims for Accident Insurance Reform. She was herself involved in an accident that left her injured and unable to work, and now as part of the Fair Association she has voiced concerns about the new measures.
“The only one who seems to be paying is the victim,” Kirkwood said. (The insurance industry) looks at it (as if) it’s a big pool of money. Anybody that has an accident the day it takes effect will be affected.”
