Greenwoods Solicitors

Contrived and staged accidents, bogus passengers, exaggerated injuries – for motor insurers, these are everyday occurrences. The problem is finding a cost-effective and innovative way of contesting these claims.

The Counter Fraud Group at Greenwoods has the solution. We dissect every claim and carry out an intricate assessment both at a pre and post litigation stage involving, where necessary, the insight of independent experts. We have the legal expertise and the IT systems to drive the process forward, ensuring we stay one step ahead of our opponents by maximizing the use of all available tools including CPR.

Through our own Intelligence Resource and Minotaur, our market leading range of database products, we can access a vast pool of information to confirm whether a driver, passenger, witness, repairer or some other supplier of services may not be what they seem at first glance.  We will hijack the funding of a claim at every appropriate opportunity.

Our data matching product ensures that there is complete integration between lawyer and analyst whilst providing, collating and sharing data, which allows the insurer to remain one step ahead of the fraudster.

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.

Greenwoods’ Counter Fraud Group provides a total service, including secondment of lawyers to assist with identifying fraud and implementing fraud prevention measures. We also provide training workshops specifically geared to problem areas, draft precedent letters, conduct audits of client files and operate case clinics.

We also provide bespoke MI and details of all fraud savings and recoveries achieved with client detail remaining confidential.
