Claimant Solicitors to have access to your claims history ... Beware the fraudulent claims bringer!

In the current economic climate it may be tempting for you to fabricate an accident in order to be able to bring a claim for personal injury compensation or perhaps damage an expensive item of furniture or accidently on purpose lose your diamond necklace!

It will soon be possible for Claimant Solicitors to access the same records about a person’s claims history that the insurance industry have access to.  

If a Claimant solicitor has suspicions about a claim being a fraudulent claim they will be able to access the database and search through the claims history relating to the suspect Claimant, this will give the Claimant solicitor useful information about the Claimant’s claims history in order to assess whether the claim they are dealing with is potentially fraudulent.  This will of course help reduce the impact of fraudulent claims on the insurance industry and should in turn have an effect on insurance premium levels.

If you have a genuine claim for personal injury compensation however, this will not be a cause for concern, so do not let this put you off from making a claim.  Please contact Mrs Julie McCallion or Mrs Selina Martin on 01234 858000.
