Criminal Insurance Fraud
Definition:
Insurance companies should always act in good faith to the insured and not make policy holders victims of insurance fraud. An insurance company is required to abide by the terms of the policy they sell to customers and pay when a customer makes a valid claim. Insurance fraud occurs when an insurance company lies or hides so that they may avoid payment for a legitimate claim. Some insurance fraud is also motivated by greed, such as when insurance companies cheat customers by charging unauthorized fees and premiums and discriminating against applicants.
Consequences of Insurance Fraud:
Insurance fraud typically occurs in all forms of insurance (automobile, workers' compensation, disability, life, healthcare and homeowner's insurance). A policy holder becomes a victim of the insurance company when the insurance company breaches their duty of good faith. Most state laws allow victims of insurance fraud to bring legal action against an insurance company to seek monetary damages.What a Lawyer can do for you:
