What Do You Get When You Add A No Win No Fee Personal Injury Lawyer To A Recession?

A substantial increase in people who are now willing to make fraudulent personal injury claims to enhance their income.

An astonishing eighty nine percent of lawyers believe that the No Win No Fee arrangement has encouraged more people to make deceitful personal injury claims, according to research carried out by LV.

Overstating injuries has been on the rise for the past 10 years say almost sixty percent of the solicitors involved, with almost half stating they have witnessed a surge in false claimants since the start of the recession.

Post traumatic stress disorder, strained muscles and whiplash are the most commonly exaggerated types of personal injury, with the favourite choice of incident for these injuries to take place being that of car crashes.

Almost two thirds of the lawyers taking part believe that the almost incessant advertising on television of these services is a key factor when it comes to the increase of falsified personal injury claims submissions, as there is now the perception that it is an easy money maker.

As a consequence of these actions, sixty two percent of lawyers now scrutinise in much greater depth the submitted personal injury claim forms before committing to any further action.

The report from LV has been backed up by other firms, who state that the research mirrors their own experiences and go as far to say that some types of insurance fraud are now reaching the epidemic stage.

If you are under the mistaken belief that personal injury claims fraud only affects the insurance companies then you are forgetting it is the ordinary citizen who has to make up the difference and LV have stated that this cost is 100 pounds per year and that figure is simply for car insurance.

Martin Milliner, the technical claims director for LV has no issues for compensating those who have genuinely suffered a personal injury through the actions of another party but has no sympathy for those who commit the criminal act of submitting false or exaggerated personal injury claims and urges that solicitors maintain their vigilance and continue to thoroughly investigate all suspect claimants.
