New figures from the Injuries Resolution Board show the number of personal injury claims is now 35% lower than before the pandemic.
The board says its work has resulted in €88 million in savings for the State in legal costs, with more claims being accepted through its process.
Despite this insurance premiums have increased 23% from 2020 to 2024 according to the Alliance for Insurance Reform.
The IRB also highlights increased efficiency, with mediation achieving an agreement rate of 54%, while personal injury claims are being resolved in an average of three months.
The CEO of the Injuries Resolution Board, Rosalind Carroll, has praised the flexibility of the approach.
