Insurance Fraud Solicitors

Insurance fraud is any act committed with the intent to fraudulently obtain payment from an insurer and as such requires the prosecution to prove dishonesty. Fraudulent claims account for a significant portion of all claims received by insurers and cost billions of pounds globally each year.

Types of insurance fraud vary significantly and occur in all areas of insurance. Insurance crimes also range in severity, from slightly exaggerating claims to deliberately causing accidents or damage. Some are hugely complex and involve groups of people working together in a criminal conspiracy.

The cost in increased premiums to ordinary consumers is recognised to be a serious problem by the courts and the potential penalties reflect this.
