100% liability admitted, but months of stonewalling and poor handling
QBE admitted 100% liability, then ran a box-ticking, obstructive process. They cherry-picked information to suit their narrative, while sidelining and ignoring the MedCo report to force a lower compensation tariff.
When this was challenged, they hid behind “our Stage 2 has ended - accept the lower tariff or we'll see you in court” rather than engage with the actual evidence.
This is bullying by design: hide behind process, brandish court as a threat, and pressure people into underpaid tariffs knowing most can’t face litigation.
The arranged Physio was mishandled and mis-recorded (marked “failed to attend” despite attendance and further sessions requested by the Physio Therapist, still not resolved!).
Communication was abysmal - weeks of silence unless I chased.
I raised a complaint due to the failures encountered, however even the complaints team were inept; their “final response” whitewashed the handling failures and dodged the actual issues, giving a very clear impression that their aim is to protect their own rather than dealing with very valid complaints.
When I inferred that, unless the complaint was addressed I would be left with no other option other than escalating to the Ombudsman, their response was very flippant and without a care.
Reading other reviews, it looks as though this is a common tactic used by QBE regularly and I would strongly advise against anyone using this company.
I did not want to, but I am now escalating this to the Ombudsman.
A dismal example of process over fairness -designed to underpay, not to do right.
