Written question asked by Ellie Reeves (Labour) on Tuesday, 27 February 2018, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 1 March 2018. It was answered by Robert Buckland (Conservative) on Tuesday, 13 March 2018 on behalf of the Attorney General.


Personal Injury: Fraud

Question

To ask the Attorney General, how many successful prosecutions there have been for personal injury insurance fraud in the UK court system in the last 12 months.

Answer

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain a central record of the number of prosecutions for personal injury insurance frauds. Nor is any record held to show if defendants were purporting to have sustained an injury on a road when making a fraudulent claim. This information could only be obtained by examining CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
