    Jeez. Thanks for posting that video and imo it clarifies why we are paying exorbitant renewal fees.

    The wife had an accident a few years ago, was with a neighbor and my wife was at fault. There was no dispute over the accident and both cars insured with the same company. The 2 cars were old and low value and insurance company decided to write them off on that basis. After all was settled the neighbor said she questioned the value the insurance company had put on her car and they told her "you know you haven't put in an injury claim"! And fair play she didn't as there was none.

    A long time ago I crashed into a woman and it was my fault- fender bender.

    By the time everything was done, it was €4200 of a bill and my insurance company slapped a bill for administration of €900 so the claim would be over €5k so they could up my premium the following year, (that was their limit at the time) I’d say a fiver of a claim would put up a premium now. The following year they tried loading a thousand extra on my premium. Last time dealing with them.

    You have to read between the lines here. The reality is that a lot of suspected fraudulent claims cannot be proven and the insurance industry have to make a judgement call whether the Garda can proove it or more importantly it is in their interest, costwise to pursue it. They can't say this publicly as every scumbag in the country would cop onto it.
    I know someone who had a minor fender bender with someone. Big claim lodged and the insurance company is dealing with it. Guess what she does for a living - yep, a fooking solicitor. I kid you not.

    If an investigation and subsequent Court case looks like it might cost 15,000 euro (or more, cause the sky's the limit in Court), an Insurance company will happily settle for 10,000.
    Even if there is clear evidence that the person claiming is negligent to a degree (like admitting their children were not wearing seatbelts, then making the claim because the child was "shaken") they will just pay out.

    Another aspect that is ignored...the barrister for the claimant will be on the other side of the room tomorrow and the claimants barrister will be defending.

    True.
    Do you remember the Supermacs "slip" case where the claimant was recorded on cctv splashing water on the floor, and taking a few practice skids before "slipping and injuring" himself?
    The Barrister defending Supermacs warned the claimants Barrister about the clear evidence just before the case was heard.

    Read that alright. The first or second reply makes it sound like they are not going to get the money back.

    I'd be livid. Mine ask if they can buy anything always. They know the rules. Also it's linked to a credit card with a limit of 1000 euro

    Ita normal afaik in court cases that all such evidence held by the defence must be presented to the prosecution before the case is tried and vice versa?

    Know of a mixed farm with two new tractors, new telehandler and a new digger in the yard in the last 4 years. Mix of dairy, beef and tillage. The story is 4 bachelors brothers and an unmarried sister all living at home all on the old age pension. €1200 a week in pensions arriving.

    That’s the way it works at that level.
    They all work through each other on different cases so there is no real case of “barrister Vs barrister”, they want cases resolved easy and quickly as possible. They don’t want to be sticking it to each other in court because next case they could be working together, so they see themselves as beyond that and work together.
