i would love to know what percentage of 'accident claims' are actually genuine.Obviously there are people who have genuinely been injured and have to stay off work for a while and deserve to be compensated but it seems to me that a large percentage of money being paid out is to people who are claiming fraudulently.I've seen it first hand so many times,obviously we all have to make a living but i just wonder how these solicitors,doctors and specialists who are profiting from this crime sleep at night.ps not suggesting the op is blagging or anything

I am often referred claimants who have a complex mix of physical and psychological/emotional issues. I'd agree that there is a tendency for people to both exaggerate the extent of injury itself and to attribute previously existing or coincidental complaints to an accident in order to get more compensation..

A lot of my job in these cases is about establishing what can be reasonably attributed to the accident and, importantly, what cannot.

But, I take very few of them on now because of the pressure to maximise the extent of injury suffered. What cases I do get these days are mostly second opinion requests in which insurers are seking to reduce the payout someone elses opinion apparently supports.

The whole area is a bit grubby these days, which is another reason I've moved away from it, but I have rarely seen a completely fradulent claim. Suppose they don't often get as far as the expert opinion stage.

what gets me is this-a solicitor will take on a case,usually whiplash(nobody had heard of whiplash 20 yrs ago apart from Cynthia Payne) knowing full well the person is faking an injury,the solicitors even send people out on the streets,text people etc touting for business.The claimant will be encouraged by a so called expert on the severity of the injury and encouraged to say the right things about the injury,disgusting how people are being encouraged to lie and effectively break the law and its become part of life,it should be made illegal if found to be faking an injury and claiming compensation if there is nothing wrong with you,i remember coming on this forum a few years ago and complaining about personal injury solicitors encouraging people to lie for financial gain and someone actually said they have told there children to lie if they had to to make money through an injury,disgusting the sordid business,i'd put some solicitors up there with the police and politicians as being one of the most corrupt occupations around
