Insurance fraud can be related to auto insurance, worker's compensation claims, medical insurance, home-owner insurance, and life insurance policies. The common thread is that fraud revolves around a purposeful misrepresentation of fact to an insurer to gain an unearned benefit. Nothing of monetary value needs to change hands for a fraud to occur.
The defendant in a fraud action could face both criminal prosecution and a civil action for the same conduct. The basic difference between criminal fraud and civil fraud lies in who is pursuing legal action in the case. #insurancefraud,
