The driver and three 'passengers ' made claims for whiplash injuries supported by dodgy Medical Reports .Her Insurers took a robust view and defended the claim and the claimants withdrew their claims,with an appropriate costs penalty, the day before the trial,when they realised my Wife was not going to give them a chance to earn easy bucks.<br />After receiving a letter from her own Insurers,thanking her for a taking a stance against the fraudulent claimants,she thought that was the last of the matter, onLy to receive several telephonee calls from a claims company inviting her to instruct them to pusue a claim ,as they understood she had been involved in a motor claim.<br />She eveNtually made enquiries of the company and they admitted that her details had been passed and sold on to them by one of the Insurance Companies involved in the litigation,in circumstances when they both knew that she had not been injured and her vehicle had not been damaged!This only shows what utter hypocrites these Insurers are!<br />The general public should be made more aware of such practices and perhaps we could then have SOME 'Insurer Bashing' rather than Lawyer Bashing!

After all the Insurers incessant lobbying of the government over a number of years has been on the basis that this will happen.
