Responding to the insurance boss’s remarks, Mr Cantillon said: “This is typical scaremongering from Allianz, attempting to paint anyone who takes a personal injury case as being a fraudster. Cantillons Solicitors has criticised comments by Allianz Ireland CEO Sean McGrath that half the 1,500 claims the insurer challenged in the country ’s courts in 2018 were “potentially fraudulent”. The company said it was not aware of any cases where a claim had been found to be fraudulent and would investigate if one did. Cantillon said McGrath’s logic was misguided and essentially undermined his own point, as he was acknowledging half the claims were real. Cantillon also noted that few cases actually end up in court, as most are settled with compensation paid to the injured party.
