Fraudulent Claims

Our highly experienced personal injury barristers have a long track record of providing specialist advice and representation in relation to insurance fraud arising from personal injury cases and particularly road traffic accidents.

Fundamental dishonesty has become a critical feature of personal injury cases and with insurance fraud on the rise including through exaggerated claims, low velocity impact, phantom passengers and basic fraud, a robust approach is needed in relation to the conduct of such cases.

Our team of results orientated barristers utilise their in-depth experience on behalf of instructing solicitors and direct access clients, often providing advice at an early stage, to help guide claims to a successful conclusion and protect clients from fraudulent claims.

Where further action is required, our barristers will provide input and guidance as early as possible on committal or the involvement of the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) to ensure cases where fraud has been proven have the maximum deterrent possible for fraudsters.

Our team of fraud barristers also hold significant expertise in relation to costs and are also able to help clients in relation to seeking costs recovery against fraudsters and those supporting fraudulent claims.

The fraud team at Linenhall Chambers work with clients across England and Wales including in the North West, Midlands and Wales and the team includes Welsh speakers.
