Increase in Underhand Insurance Practice

In recent years their has been an increase in 'Third Party Capture' practices, where insurers attempt to settle personal injury claims direct with the Claimant, preventing them from obtaining expert legal advice and usually agreeing damages at a vastly reduced rate.
Such practices include 'Cold Calling/Doorstepping', 'Misrepresentation and Untruths', and settling claims without medical evidence (when the injury claim clearly requires one). The Motor Accident Solicitors Society (MASS) are campaigning tirelessly to exterminate such practices, seeking the support of all members and also writing to various Politicians.
The Fast Track department at Bolt Burdon Kemp, and indeed all other members of staff, are supporting this very important campaign.
