What key achievement did your entry highlight?

DWF Law have forged the way for use of telematics data in claims courts through taking complex GPS data and accelerometer data from telematics devices and converting that data into disclosable format as evidence compliant with DPA and admissible in court.

Analysing telematics data is ground-breaking and its use in claims across all areas but specifically in large loss cases and to identify fraud is truly unique.

DWF have achieved industry first case results to include the first finding of fundamental dishonesty where telematics data was relied upon to disprove a dishonest personal injury claims/ first use of Telematics data to detect a fraud ring.

What sets your firm apart from the other shortlisted contenders?

DWF have uniquely built a telematics screening product and telematics claims predictor.
