With fraudulent whiplash injury claims a major concern to the insurance industry, and to genuine claimants who suffer unnecessary scepticism as a result of the actions of fraudsters, any tool that helps separate the false from the true should be welcomed. Insurance professionals have recently set up their own Insurance Fraud Bureau to help combat the problem, but new tools are welcome.
One such is a windscreen-mounted digital camera that has been developed by Vision Techniques. It uses G-shock sensors to record visual data before, during and after an accident, helping investigators establish the true facts behind a road accident.
Any pre-accident phenomena, such as heavy braking or swerving, cause the camera to click into action, and as it is also GPS-integrated, it allows investigators to link the intimate details of the accident with important location data.
Innovations like this are welcomed by all connected with whiplash injury claims, from insurance companies, to personal injury solicitors, to police, to claimants themselves. And as the cost of the technology currently stands at only around £250, there is reason to hope that its use will one day be widespread enough to make a difference to the current car crash litigation climate.
There is little doubt that fraudulent car accident compensation claims have a very real impact on the economy. There are over 22,500 cases of confirmed fraud since 1999, and road accident fraud is estimate to cost the UK economy around £1.5 billion each year.
One area where the cameras should make a real impact is in targeting the "crash for cash" gangs who stage or induce car accidents deliberately in order to profit from fraudulent insurance claims.
Whiplash-style neck injuries can be long-term, painful and debilitating. What can make them even more frustrating is that they sometimes fail to respond to conventional treatments.
