It is estimated that undetected insurance fraud costs the industry £1.9 billion per year. The cost to business and private individuals is incalculable both in cost and effect.
Crutes have an across the board approach to fraudulent claims. Every fee-earner is trained and encouraged to identify possible fraudulent or exaggerated claims, such as low velocity impact (LVI) claims. We have a specialist multidisciplinary team dedicated to investigate cases where fraud is identified or suspected.
Our team has expertise in pursuing fraudulent and exaggerated claims in the following areas:
- Motor Insurance
- Employer’s Liability
- Public Liability
- Commercial Insurance
- Business and Commerce
- Welfare Benefits
We can provide pre-litigation advice on fraud issues, where called upon, and we will assess claims for possible fraud throughout their life.
We are happy to provide advice on combating fraud, handling potentially fraudulent claims and identifying serial fraud or complicit Claimants.
Our management information, together with the information held by clients and their partner agencies, allows us to cross check Claimants to check for multiple claims. We strongly advise insurers to establish such systems, such as CACHE, to seek out individuals or groups making multiple claims or acting as each others witnesses.
We are members of:
- North East Fraud Forum (NEFF)
- Insurance Fraud Investigators Group (IFIG)
We have access to a wealth or fraud detection and prevention measures including the Insurer’s CACHE database and 55 Local Authority Databases.
We have the largest Public Service and Insurance Litigation department in the North of England with over 240 years combined experience.
External support
We have a dedicated network of external experts to assist in the collection of data and surveillance when necessary.
