Insurers' ability to spot fraud promptly is a major challenge. The range of tools and data sets needed to perform any kind of accurate valuation is unsustainable and time-consuming, and all of these factors can negatively impact the customer's experience.
Fraudulent vehicle insurance claims are at an all-time high, not just in the UK, but globally. Vehicle insurance fraud ranges from misleading information to staging accidents, injuries, and theft. It appears the lockdowns may have given criminals more time to develop their fraudulent vehicle insurance claims, as legitimate claims decreased during the lockdowns, fraudulent claims increased by 50%.
Insurers must have an effective and efficient investigation process against fraud. However, this is not an easy task, as many insurers still use archaic methods to search through various databases. As a result, this is time-consuming and incredibly costly making their attempts to stop fraud completely counterproductive.
