Employers' group IBEC wants to see the amounts awarded in personal injury claims reduced.
The association has said that some insurance companies are afraid to challenge compensation amounts awarded to claimants, due to the cost of legal fees.
IBEC is also appealing to the courts system to follow the awarding system set out by the Personal Injuries Board.
IBEC's head of infrastructure Neil Walker said that insurance companies often do not challenge compensation amounts for fear of legal challenges.
"In some cases, a claim is put in and the employer feels it's a bit spurious, but the tendency is for the insurer to accept it and make an offer and the company has no say in it," he said.
"You speak to the insurers and they say: 'Well look, it would cost us far more in legal costs to challenge that than we would avoid by simply settling, because even if you win the case, it's very hard to reclaim those costs."
