Perspectives on motor claims, commercial strategy, and the future of mobility — drawn from two decades at the sharp end of the sector.
The Growing Challenge of AI, Synthetic Evidence, and Motor Claims Fraud
The rules of motor insurance fraud have changed. AI-generated synthetic evidence is replacing physical staging — and the detection frameworks built for crash-for-cash schemes are no longer fit for purpose. A new strategic response is required.
Read on LinkedInUK Motor Claims & Accident Management — August 2026: frequency turns, arbitration prices bad behaviour, and scale starts buying claims cost
Claims frequency edged higher through the first half while personal injury frequency stayed flat, removing the single offset the market has leaned on since 2023. The severity story now has a frequency problem attached to it.
Read on LinkedInUK Motor Claims & Accident Management — July 2026: the pricing floor gives way, claims severity sets the bill, and control decides the winners

The sharpest supply disruption on record is feeding through to parts logistics, recovery and storage, and bodyshop economics, while Admiral’s disclosure of AI-manipulated evidence raises the cost of defending a claim.
