Insurance Fraud: Discussion
Gerry Horkan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I appreciate that vexatious complaints may have no grounds. If someone is aware of information, however, he or she will often not want other people to be aware that a complaint has been made. The insurance companies have told us about examples, and I am sure An Garda Síochána also has examples, of one family being incredibly accident prone, to put it mildly. That could also apply to certain parts of a city or the country being much more involved with accidents. We hear of "Prime Time" type scenarios where 30, 40 or 50 accidents have been staged by or at least involved one family. In that case, there is no way for people to make complaints without being brought to court.
