Law firm HF and Admiral Insurance have combined to uncover a web a fraudulent activity committed by Michelle Scully, while working at Bond Turner solicitors and representing clients who had been involved in road traffic accidents. Scully was found to have made three dishonest insurance claims for herself, totalling £65,000, following involvement as a passenger in three road traffic accidents.

Alex Wilkinson, partner at HF, said: “Michelle Scully thought she could use her knowledge of the claims process to dishonestly obtain compensation for accidents that, in fact, caused her no injuries.

He added: “I am glad for the industry that Miss Scully’s dishonesty has been uncovered and that the insurers involved in this litigation took the decision to fight these claims to trial.”
