He is prepared to accept proceedings on all tracks, taking the view that, for insurers, all aspects and levels of fraud are important and deserve to be properly defended. The Insurance Fraud Bureau have reported that of 2.9 million insurance claims made up to 170,000 were suspected to be linked to “crash for cash” gangs and an unattractive proportion of the remainder were opportunist individual cases of dishonesty.
Roger’s attention to detail is regarded as an invaluable asset when dissecting cases of fraud from those of mere misfortune.
