During difficult economic times, insurance companies become increasingly aggressive in investigating claims for possible fraud. As a result, you can find yourself facing criminal charges for nothing more than making a mistake on an insurance form.
At the Annapolis law firm of Cochran & Chhabra, LLC, our attorneys combine more than 60 years of experience in defending people accused of white collar crimes such as insurance fraud in Maryland. Contact us 24/7 for a free consultation about your case.
Protecting You From Serious Charges
The FBI estimates the cost of fraud to insurance companies to be more than $80 billion a year. As a result, prosecutors tend to take fraud cases extremely seriously. Some of the most common targets of fraud investigations include:
- Car insurance fraud, including accident staging, faked damages, arson and claims for pre-damaged vehicles
- Health care fraud, including false or inflated Medicaid, Medicare and private health insurance claims
- Workers' compensation and disability fraud
- Homeowners insurance fraud, including arson, suspicious theft claims and suspicious property damage claims
Many insurance companies use software programs that flag claims for fraud investigation based on statistical analysis. However, just because an insurance company accuses you of fraud does not mean that the state can prove it. Our goal is to protect you not only from the threat of criminal charges but also the damage an insurance fraud accusation can have on your finances.
