Welcome to the latest edition of the TGC Fraud Update.
These are busy times. As foreshadowed in previous editions of this update, the introduction of the whiplash reforms has seen a substantial rise in the ‘layering’ of previously straightforward claims with claims for treatments in various guises, and claims associated with recognised psychiatric injuries. Those increases come at the same time as a significant rise in credit hire claims arising from incidents involving motorcycle couriers and delivery drivers, no doubt fuelled in part by the enormous demand for ‘dine-in’ services, as well as the shifting business models of the credit hire and accident management industries. Many of the resulting claims from 2020 and 2021 still remain a long way from trial, and judging by the number of aged claims that are listed for trial, but are being vacated at the last minute due to a lack of judicial availability, the number of claims filling lists in the County Court is likely to persist for years to come.
Meanwhile, the High Court continues to deal with increasing volumes of serious and high-value injury claims in which allegations of fundamental dishonesty are being alleged.
