New rules around how personal injury claims are calculated are a lose-lose for firms and consumers, says Richard Hunter of Wilson King Investment.
He expects insurance companies "will look to take some of this on the chin, but ultimately it is going to get passed on to the consumer". Car insurance premiums could go up by as much as £75 annually.
In addition, Mr Hunter says insurers such as Direct Line and Admiral are set to see hefty profit falls.
