Defining insurance fraud
First and foremost, it’s critical to comprehend what you’re being accused of. Insurance fraud, according to California law, is conducting an activity with the intent of receiving insurance payments and/or benefits that you would not be entitled to if you weren’t behaving fraudulently. Insurance fraud can take many forms, just as there are many different types of insurance. Here are a few examples:
- Auto insurance fraud
- California Medi-Cal insurance fraud
- Welfare fraud
- Health care insurance fraud
- Unemployment insurance fraud
- Workers’ compensation fraud
A person cheating an insurance company is the most common accusation of insurance fraud. They may do so by fabricating an injury, inflating a genuine claim, or engaging in any other behavior that may be seen as filing fraudulent claims for benefits they are not entitled to. If you’ve been accused of any of the following, please contact Chambers Law Firm right once.
You might face severe repercussions
This is a severe problem, and you should be aware of the gravity of the situation. Insurance fraud is a white-collar crime, which means that depending on the extent of the fraud and the defendant’s criminal history, it can result in heavier fines and longer jail / prison term.
Furthermore, fraud allegations are sometimes accompanied by other offenses such as forgery, perjury, and theft. Each one may carry its own term, potentially escalating the severity of the repercussions for those who are convicted.
You have a number of defense options at your disposal
When it comes to insurance fraud, there is no one-size-fits-all legal response. When you contact Chambers Law Firm for a free case review, we’ll assess your situation and offer our best recommendations on how to proceed. We may seek to establish that you were not the perpetrator of the crime. This might entail demonstrating that, while there is substantial evidence, it is insufficient to condemn you.
Proving that you didn’t intend to conduct fraud is another method we may pursue. This might include demonstrating that you made an error while providing insurance information. Even if the insurance company paid you more than you should have, it’s not fraud if there’s no proof of intent.
