It is believed that around 10-15% of claims for motor vehicle damage and compulsory third party (CTP) insurance involve a level of fraud. It has also been estimated that insurance fraud adds in excess of $400 annually to the average family's cost of living.
If you are aware of insurance fraud, COLLISION AND SAFETY recommends contacting the Insurance Council of Australia's Insurance Fraud hotline 24/7 on 1300 600 444 or report.fraud@insurancecouncil.com.au
For parities wishing to investigate potential collision related fraud, COLLISION AND SAFETY recommends Accident Investigation Services.
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION SERVICES are able to study vehicle damage patterns and comment on compatibility or otherwise with a claimants version of events. Their experience includes various high and low speed staged collisions, plus an extensive knowledge of verified genuine collisions that allow benchmarking against fraud. |
