Market-leading in identifying, defending and defeating fraudulent Casualty insurance claims
Our specialist insurance fraud investigations team advises major insurers, corporates, public bodies and private organisations on thousands of insurance fraud cases each year, including casualty, disease, motor, travel, household, property, pet and commercial policies. We help to protect our clients’ businesses and their customers from the harm of fraud.
We focus on uncovering motor fraud: bogus claims, phantom passengers, low-velocity impact, staged and induced accidents. We are proficient in disease claims, including suspicious noise-induced hearing loss claims. We also have extensive experience in property fraud, including arson, theft, burglary and stolen vehicles.
Our specialist team has resolved numerous fraud rings, fabricated incidents and exaggerated claims across all lines of business. We also advise clients on future fraud prevention strategies, providing a tailored approach which helps to ensure brand protection, maintain policyholder relationships and minimise costs.
We use our cross-border intelligence and our innovative systems to improve our counter-fraud service. We have developed a number of innovative counter-fraud products as part of our Clyde & Co Newton offering. These include Fraud Screen, a bespoke Optical Character Reading (OCR) tool including artificial intelligence (AI)functionality that provides the most advanced language model accessible today and Fraud Edge, a fraud insight tool, allowing clients to understand the potential exposure to suspicious organisations.
