I understand that. Let us move on to personal injury claims. The figure is 53%. Then 14% of claims are settled through PIAB and 33% of claims are litigated. I do not have the figure before me but we know close to 50% of PIAB awards are not accepted either by the insurance company or the claimant. This corresponds to approximately 6,000 cases per year. It should correspond to 14%. What makes up the other 17% that are litigated?
