There is as much minimum wage labour employed in your industry, ticking the boxes on your 'must be fraud coz we says so' checklists, you don't employ the creme de la crime last time I had the displeasure of dealing with an insurer directly rather than panel sols.

All claimants bringing claims against insurers require legal assistance, the lack of scruples in your sector demand it.

The alternative is that genuine Claimants have their cases undervalued and undersettled by an insurer and Colossus...a scenario I am sure you and your shareholders would love as it would probably trim (artificially) damages by about 35%.

I would however be happy to see claims settled directly with an insurer be subject to an advice from counsel in the same way that employment disputes and compromises agreements allow for payment of independent legal advice to go over the terms...but the ability to recover counsels fees for advice were done away with in one of the insurer led reforms.

I could go on but I'm sure you've a daily mail article to oversee or an MP to mislead, sorry...lobby.
