The Association of British Insurers believes that this illegal practice has cost the insurance industry over £200m and if continued would add another 20,000 plus fraudulent accidents into the equation within the next two years. Bringing the Fraud Act 2006 into legislation is a huge step in combating fraudulent insurance claims including associated personal injury claims, in some cases existing penalties have now doubled and their also appears to be a common goal by a number of organisations to help each other combat the problem by sharing information across systems.

The Fraud Act 2006 will be a welcome move on behalf of defendant insurance companies who feel the brunt of payment legitimate as well as these fraudulent personal injury claims.

Unfortunately there was a negative in the mix and this came from the extremely high profile downfall of the countries largest accident claims management companies. With these downfalls came an insight into some pretty unacceptable and unpalatable business practices including the collection and distribution of excessive and indeed unnecessary commissions. It seemed the enlightenment of making claiming compensation for personal injuries easier had backfired with a change in attitude back to mistrust and the feeling of claims being a dirty word.

Talk Once aim to bring transparency and acceptability back into the frame by ensuring claimants receive a truly direct and professional service with those people who will actually pursue the claim through its entire process and it is important that the initial advice provided to the claimant comes directly from legal experts themselves. Claiming compensation for all types of matters including road accident compensation medical negligence compensation are made easier and more direct with the Talk Once service.

Under the Compensation Bill It will be an offence to provide claims management services without the right authority, the offence can carry a two year prison sentence so this is a positive move to eliminate bogus and unnecessary middlemen who have little if anything constructive to add to the claims process. Those who are registered and approved must provide consumers with clear advice about their claims and all the options for how the claims will be funded.

A clear and understandable complaints procedure will also need to be advised in case things go wrong. The Law is expected to come into force by early 2007 for personal injury compensation claims.
