New leadership at PIAB
The Personal Injuries Assessment Board has a new chief executive. Rosalind Carroll was selected for the job following an open and competitive recruitment process.
She said “I am delighted to be appointed CEO of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). PIAB is committed to delivering major benefits for society by dealing with personal injury claims fairly and at low cost, while curtailing claims costs, which impact on the cost of insurance.
The impact and value of PIAB is not just to the individual parties concerned, but our work also, importantly, has a wider impact on industry, business and society.”
Claims
She continued: “We in PIAB have an important role to play in providing an alternative way of resolving claims which is fair to all parties, but with far lower costs. We also will continue to be a key contributor to reforms in the area, through the provision of transparent information and expertise, and working constructively with all stakeholders.”
Ms Carroll has, since 2016, been the CEO of the Residential Tenancies Board, the independent regulatory body for the rented sector.
Dermot Divilly (chair of PIAB) said: “I am delighted that Rosalind has joined the organisation as chief executive, and I am very confident she will do an outstanding job for the organisation.
“Her experience will be invaluable in the important work ahead, continuing the delivery of the essential services PIAB provides, and in driving and contributing to the reforms underway in the overall insurance sector.”
