Sentry Private Investigators Ltd

Private Personal Injury Fraud Investigator Birmingham & U.K

SPI provide specialist surveillance investigation services in support of countering fraudulent personal injury claims.

Personal Injury Fraud in the UK

SPI are Birmingham based private investigators offering effective personal injury fraud investigations in Birmingham, the Midlands, East of England and London. Personal injury fraud is rife across the UK, there's no other way of putting it. In 2016 alone, insurance companies put red flags on over 125,000 suspected fraudulent claims but believe there were many more that went undetected. This cost the insurance company £1.3 billion which has forced them fight back by investing over £200 million each year into investigative work. Insurers now have their own in-house teams of investigators, as well high value contracts with investigative providers who specialise fraudulent claims.

Personal Injury Fraud is Not a Victimless Crime

It is widely believed that Personal Injury fraud is a victimless crime. This couldn't further from the truth. Firstly, it affects the person or business you are putting the claim against as it will damage the company's health and safety reputation. Where 3rd parties are involved in road traffic accidents (RTA's), vehicle damage and serious injury are the likely outcomes. Furthermore, it puts additional strain on the NHS or other health care providers as they will have to provide unnecessary treatment for the claimant and other involved parties. Lastly, insurance premiums will remain high across the board.

Consequences of Personal Injury Fraud
injury fraud prison sentences

The consequences of submitting fraudulent personal injury claims can also create serious problems for the claimant as well. Insurance companies are clamping down on such activities and prosecution is becoming more and more common. Fraudsters are now facing huge fines, criminal records, and potentially jail terms. Future job prospects are diminished, because who is going to want a dishonest employee that is likely to submit a fraudulent workplace injury claim?Furthermore, the claimant is unlikely to be insured by anyone in the future. The little insurance claim to make a few quid that the claimant thought wouldn't hurt anyone could in-fact turn into a far more serious ordeal.

Personal Injury Fraud Investigations

The extent at which some fraudsters go to for a quick buck is sometimes beyond belief. Sentry Private Investigators specialise in fraudulent personal injury claims and we have held some of the more seasoned fraudsters bang to rights. We operate daily across Birmingham, the Midlands the East of England and London to evidence fraudulent injury claims, and with excellent success rates. 


The more serious the claim, the bigger the pay-out. If a claimant has submitted a claim detailing a list of injuries and is expecting a large pay-out, the insurance provider will look deep into it. The cost of investigative investment is far lower than the cost of a successful medical claim. The claimant must be prepared to put on a convincing show by displaying the injuries being claimed for. It only takes one slip up to void an entire claim.

SPI conduct surveillance operations every-day. We have vast experience with medical insurance claims so we know what to look out for, and we know when someone is playing up for the cameras. Not to mention the medical experts who review the footage on behalf of the insurers to make their assessments. 

 

If an insurer suspects fraud, a red flag will put against the claimant's name and shared across the insurance industry. A claimant may think he or she will get away with submitting a dodgy claim,  but when we see said claimant playing football when he should be wheelchair bound, its a pretty clear cut case of fraud.
