This, Volume II of Insurance Fraud provides coverage of the issues not covered by Volume I and, together with Volume I becomes a complete manual for how lawyers and claims people can effectively work to deter or defeat insurance fraud.

INSURANCE FRAUD IS EPIDEMIC

Insurance fraud continually takes more money each year than it did the last from the insurance buying public. There is no certain number. No one knows the amount that is taken by insurance fraud because most attempts at insurance fraud succeed. Estimates of the extent of insurance fraud in the United States range from $87 billion to more than $300 billion every year. The only certainty is that it is a serious crime that bleeds the insurance industry sufficiently to have states compel insurers to create special investigative units (SIU’s) to investigate, deter and defeat insurance fraud to assist the state in its efforts to prosecute the crime.

Insurers and government backed pseudo-insurers can only estimate the extent they lose to fraudulent claims. Lack of sufficient investigation and prosecution of insurance criminals is endemic. Most insurance fraud criminals are not detected. Those that are detected do so because they became greedy, sloppy and unprofessional so that the attempted fraud becomes so obvious it cannot be ignored.

Insurers who do not exercise serious anti-fraud efforts often complain that the local district attorneys and police agencies give a low priority to the crime of insurance fraud.

No matter how seriously the insurers work to prove fraud the authorities often ignore them. In response, police and prosecutors complain that the insurers do nothing that police and prosecutors can use to prosecute the crime of insurance fraud while insurers complain that prosecutors ignore them when they present evidence of a fraud. There is truth in both complaints. Insurers, although compelled by statute to investigate potential insurance fraud and to present the results of their investigations to prosecutors, they are not trained as police officers. Insurance company employees, whether claims adjusters or SIU investigators are not trained to present evidence of a crime to a court.

They can only advise professional insurance fraud investigators at the state departments of insurance or state police agencies who must then investigate further to obtain evidence that is sufficient for a charge of insurance fraud or to convince a Grand Jury to issue an indictment.

The following are covered in this volume including:

• The Federal Crime of Insurance Fraud
• Insurance Fraud as a State Crime
• Insurance Fraud by Insurers
• California SIU Regulations
• Investigating Insurance Fraud
• The Examination Under Oath
• The Taking of an Examination Under Oath
• The Mutability of Memory
• Rescission
• Insurance Fraud Statutes
• The Tort of Bad Faith and Insurance Fraud
• Sample California Rescission Letters
• Sample Complaint for Declaratory Relief
• Form of Mutual Rescission Agreement
• Fom Declaration of Underwriter in Support of Rescission
• Insurance Fraud Statutes
• Outline of Training for Integral Anti-Fraud Personnel
• Form of EUO Demand Letter
• EUO Testimony admitting fraud.

Insurers are less equal with regard to crimes perpetrated against them than are other businesses. They are the only business required to pay for special investigators and prosecutors to investigate crimes against them. They are the only business required, by statute, to investigate crimes against them and produce the evidence to the prosecutors. Without the power and immunity available to police agencies insurers are damned and fined if they don’t comply and are damned with tort and punitive damages plus the cost of defending bad faith suits if they comply with the statutes and regulations.
