Fraud

We represent insurers, the public sector, self-insured bodies and companies all of whom can regrettably be targeted by fraudsters. Fraudulent claims continue to be pursued and clients remain vigilant as to the risk of such claims.

​

Fraud rings to opportunists

​

We have experience of frustrating complex fraud rings through to opportunistic fraud in the context of employers' liability / public liabilty claims. We support our clients in the detection, investigation and management of fraudulent claims and understand the importance of publicity as a deterrent against future claims.

​

Fighting fraud

​

We have been at the forefront of anti-fraud initiatives on behalf of clients for well over a decade. We were one of the first firms in the UK to secure a conviction for contempt of court in the context of a fraudulent insurance claim against a public sector client. We have in recent times secured a number of findings of fundamental dishonesty including in an employers’ liability claim where the claimant sought damages in excess of £1 million.

• Claims management regulation

• Credit hire fraud

• Exaggerated claims

• Fraud rings

• Fundamental dishonesty claims

• Low velocity / no impact claims
