Contrived and staged accidents, bogus passengers, exaggerated injuries – for motor insurers, these are everyday occurrences. The problem is finding a cost-effective way of contesting these claims.
The Counter Fraud Group here at Greenwoods has the solution. We dissect every claim, involving, where necessary, the insight of independent experts. Through our own Fraud Analysis resource, we are able to access a vast pool of information to enable us to confirm whether a driver, passenger, witness or even repairer may not be what they seem at first glance. Our IT systems drive the process, ensuring that both pre and post litigation, we are one step ahead of our opponents. Our market leading data matching product ensures that by collating, analysing and sharing data, we can be one step ahead of the fraudsters themselves.
We are able to deal with initial investigations, data matching and advice up to the point of issue on a fixed fee basis. Where the matter is litigated or a tailor-made package is required, our hourly rates are competitive.
The Counter Fraud Group provides a total service, including running training workshops for claims handlers to help them identify signs of fraud and take the appropriate action, and providing a full review of our clients' fraud identification strategies.
While the Counter Fraud Group deals predominantly with motor fraud, it also handles instructions arising from Employer's or Public Liability claims.
