A Limit spokesman confirmed this week that the insurer would write £92m of UK PI business this year.
This represents a 15% increase on the 2003 total of £80m.
Most of the business will be written by Syndicate 386, though a small amount will be written by Syndicate 2000.
Last week, Creechurch confirmed that it would boost its PI capacity by 40% in 2004.
