Personal Injury Claim Plus A No Win No Fee Solicitor Plus A Recession Equals?

A substantial increase in people who are now willing to make fraudulent personal injury claims to enhance their income.

There is an increase in people making exaggerated or even false personal injury claims through the no win no fee system, is now a widely held belief amongst eighty nine percent of solicitors today, according to research results from LV.

Three out of five say there has been a rise in overstated injuries in the last ten years and 40 percent said they have seen a surge in people faking injuries since the recession began.

Amongst the solicitors who have worked on suspect personal injury claims, over half say the claims are most likely to involve a car accident, with whiplash the most regularly exaggerated injury with post traumatic stress being the next most commonly falsified injury which is then followed by strained muscles.

LV has said sixty three percent of those consulted within the legal profession believe that the increased exposure from the television adverts detailing the availability of possible compensation coupled with the view of it being easy money is a major factor in the rise of false personal injury claims.

As a consequence of these actions, sixty two percent of lawyers now scrutinise in much greater depth the submitted personal injury claim forms before committing to any further action.

One law firm specialising in the investigation and handling of suspected fraudulent personal injury claims on behalf of insurance companies echoes what is being said by LV and confirms that the experience of their own fraud unit is that some types of insurance fraud are now reaching epidemic proportions.

If you are under the mistaken belief that personal injury claims fraud only affects the insurance companies then you are forgetting it is the ordinary citizen who has to make up the difference and LV have stated that this cost is 100 pounds per year and that figure is simply for car insurance.

The technical claims director at LV, Martin Milliner states that authentic cases are definitely a cause for compensation but reiterates that those drivers who choose to falsify or overstate injuries are in fact committing a crime and should be sought out by means of vigorous investigation carried out by the solicitors.
