完整简历
Cabhina Collins is an Associate in the Catastrophic Injury and Large Loss team, based in the Belfast office. She has experience in insurance defence litigation, acting on behalf of insurers and their policyholders across a range of complex claims, with a particular focus on matters involving fraud, exaggeration, dishonesty and credibility concerns.
Cabhina has developed particular experience in the investigation and defence of suspicious and exaggerated personal injury claims, including the detailed analysis of medical evidence, claims histories, accident circumstances, disclosure material and social media intelligence. Her approach focuses on identifying inconsistencies between a plaintiff's pleaded case, reported level of injury and the available objective evidence, allowing potential credibility and evidential issues to be identified at an early stage and incorporated into the wider defence strategy.
She has been involved in cases resulting in the successful dismissal of claims where evidence demonstrated significant exaggeration of alleged injuries, including matters in which social media intelligence was obtained and served as part of the defence evidence. Cabhina has experience using such intelligence alongside medical and other evidential material to challenge a plaintiff's presentation of their claim and support a robust defence on behalf of insurer clients.
Cabhina also has experience assisting with complex and high-value High Court litigation involving allegations or concerns of fraud, exaggeration and dishonesty. Her work in these matters has contributed to favourable outcomes and significant financial savings for insurer clients, including through the effective investigation of claims, evidential challenges, strategic settlement and the defence of damages sought at levels not supported by the available evidence.
Her wider practice encompasses liability, causation, quantum and special damages issues arising in insurance litigation. She works closely with insurers, insured clients, Counsel and other experts to progress claims strategically, with a particular emphasis on early identification of fraud indicators, evidential weaknesses and opportunities to minimise financial exposure.
