What we do

Motor Fraud

Bogus motor and personal injury claims can net fraudsters up to £30,000 per claim – with the cost being met by innocent policyholders through higher premiums. To assist insurers in dealing with this threat, for the last decade Keoghs have been at the forefront of the detection and prevention of motor insurance fraud.

Our client base accounts for 75% of the market..

Today our dedicated Motor Fraud unit is the largest in the market, employing more than 120 people with vast combined experience in delivering fraud-related legal services. The unit is supported by the largest specialist intelligence team in the industry – employing 30 people.

Our client base consists of more than 30 insurers and self-insured organisations who together account for more than 75% of the UK motor insurance market.

A ‘tried and tested’ fraud handling methodology
Keoghs’ considerable experience in tackling fraud has led to the development of robust and effective handling processes for all of the main types of motor insurance fraud:

Staged / contrived collisions
Induced accidents
Low speed impact (LSI) claims
Exaggerated losses
Bogus passenger claims
Suspicious hire and storage claims

Whilst the majority of our instructions are litigated matters, we are increasingly assisting our clients with suspect claims pre-proceedings and have developed a specialist team and handling procedures to cost-effectively manage this work.
