What exactly is insurance fraud?
California law defines insurance fraud as an action a person takes with the intention of obtaining payments or benefits from an insurance company that they are not entitled to receive. There are a wide range of insurance fraud types. As an experienced insurance fraud attorney in Los Angeles CA, Attorney Chambers has worked with a wide range of insurance fraud types, including unemployment insurance fraud, fraud involving worker’s compensation, auto insurance fraud, and many others.
In most cases, an insurance fraud case will involve a person defrauding an insurance company. They may do that by faking or exaggerating an accident or injury, inflating valid claims they had, or in any way submitting claims that aren’t valid in order to get benefits they don’t deserve. If you’ve been charged with any type of insurance fraud then it’s time to contact an insurance fraud attorney in Los Angeles CA.
Potential consequences for a conviction
If you’re convicted of insurance fraud and / or medical billing fraud, there are an array of consequences you could face. The courts generally consider these to be white collar crimes and if convicted the penalty could include significant time in prison and enormous fines – it all depends on the alleged fraud.
The factors the court will consider before sentencing include a person’s criminal history and the specifics of the case. It’s common for those who are convicted to have committed other crimes during their insurance fraud including forgery or perjury. These crimes are treated as separate crimes and can lead to much more significant penalties. This is yet another reason you need an experienced insurance fraud attorney in Los Angeles CA.
Your insurance fraud attorney in Los Angeles CA can help you find the best defense
The right defense for any particular case depends on a wide range of factors. For example, we may work to show that you didn’t even commit the fraud. Even if there may be evidence that implies you committed the crime, we may argue that there isn’t enough evidence. We may also work to show that you didn’t mean to commit fraud. Instead, perhaps you made an accident error when submitting your insurance claim.
If there is a wealth of evidence against you then we may work to find a creative sentencing option. Attorney Chambers has years of experience and is a tough negotiator. With a background not just in law but in business, he knows fraud cases inside and out. He can come up with the best defense and offer you unique support.
