Fraud

“Egregious” level of dishonesty in damages claim

Keoghs, along with QBE Business Insurance, has successfully pursued 20 counts of contempt against a claimant who falsely claimed damages of £600,000 following a workplace accident. Due to the seriousness of his deceit which included a forged birth certificate, the claimant was sentenced to 15 months in prison reduced to 10 months due to early admission.
