Despite there being a fall in the amount of vehicle accidents, fake insurance claims of whiplash are costing every driver almost £100.
It has been stated that a large number of whiplash statements are ending with the average car insurance policy increasing by £90.
As outlined by a survey of GPs by the King’s Fund, the accident rate came down by 16% and yet a ‘whiplash epidemic’ over the UK is resulting in a massive £2billion a year craze.
The amount of claims has increased by 30% previously three years, jumping to 570,000 a year- or just one claim per minute.
Conclusions from the Insurance Fraud Bureau, declare that a minimum of 30,000 whiplash claims are outright fraudulent and are costing £350 million a year. Insurers say several doctors and ambulance-chasing lawyers are ‘scamming the system’ and data demonstrates 47% of UK doctors think the claims method is flawed.
They are calling on the government to put into action new recommendations to handle the culture; one that includes a better quality process for the diagnosis of, treating and coping with whiplash insurance claims. One insurer declared the current system, as evident of the findings, is open up to abuse and enables false claims to be generated.
You can find over 1,600 whiplash diagnoses a day, consider getting professional insurance claims advice with professional loss assessors.
