Practice Examples of Fraud Detection in Personal Injury Cases in Rotterdam

In Rotterdam practice, fraud registers reveal clever patterns in personal injury claims, especially in the bustling port and on busy roads like the A20. A case: a claim following an 'accident' on the Willemsbrug with identical symptoms to previous claims by the same claimant, detected via CIEL. Insurers cross-reference data with port cameras and social media, where claimants are spotted fit at the Kubuswoningen while claiming 'disability' after a fall on the Coolsingel. Another example involves gangs staging fake accidents in parking lots near Central Station or Ahoy, with claims filed with multiple insurers. Thanks to KvK data, linked BVs in the Rotterdam region are traced. In 2022, CIEL blocked 15% of suspicious claims in South Holland, involving a fraud amount of €50 million, largely linked to the logistics sector. Success stories exonerate innocents: a driver from Charlois was cleared after GPS data from his tram ride confirmed his alibi. Tips for Rotterdam claimants: be transparent about medical history with the local GGD and avoid exaggerations about whiplash after traffic jams in the Benelux Tunnel. Insurers are training AI tools for pattern recognition in urban data, but human review by Rotterdam experts remains essential. These examples illustrate how registers reduce fraud in the Maasstad, but also create risks for honest claimants due to stricter port controls. Advice: immediately engage a personal injury expert in Rotterdam upon detection to minimize reputational damage. (218 words)
