Top 5 Motor vehicle Insurance Fraud Schemes in 2008

A recent IA&B newsletter reports that 2008 statistics show a 30% fraud increase in Pennsylvania. The Top 5 motor vehicle insurance fraud schemes include:

  1. Falsely claiming injury from staged motor vehicle insurance accidents.
  2. Falsely claiming that your car was stolen.
  3. Driving without insurance, having an accident, buying insurance and lying about when the accident happened.
  4. Falsely claiming your car was hit while parked and unattended.
  5. When an accident was caused by someone listed as an "excluded driver" on an auto policy, falsely claiming that someone else was driving.
