This is a proper claim and not an ambulance chasing issue
My wife and i were passengers in a taxi and was hit by another car, now the solicitors that are dealing with the case have sent a case handler to our house and they wanted personal details like a copy of a driving licence and a proof of a utility bill which they say was so they could confirm we were the people in the accident, but then i noticed on the form they wanted my National Insurance number, when i asked why they said it was policy so again i asked for what reason and they said it was company policy and nobody else had ever questioned this before, does this sound a reasonable request or should i not give them my NI number.

If they are using an electronic ID verification system then NI is one of the ways of helping the system pass the checks.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0
