Over the years car insurance fraud has become a very serious matter for motorists and car owner’s everywhere. Everyone who owns a vehicle and pays for auto insurance should be aware of how these criminals operate and how they victimize people, cheating them out of their money, causing emotional and financial distress (causing the victim’s auto insurance premiums to increase significantly) and even putting innocent lives at risk.
Since we believe that everyone should be as diligent as you are in raising awareness about car insurance fraud, here are some of the more popular methods that car insurance scammers utilize, everyone should be prepared:
“Rear-Enders” Staged Accidents
A vehicle driven by one of the accomplice vehicle will suddenly speed right in front of you and suddenly slam it’s brakes, not giving you enough time to respond and therefore causing you to crash towards it. And since Rear-end collisions like this will most likely be treated by a judge as your fault, you will have to pay for pre-inflicted damages and maybe even for fake injuries.
The “Good Samaritan”
There will be a person who seems to be trying to help you by waving you seemingly out of traffic jams or dangers but will actually cause you to crash into another (accomplice) vehicle and will deny doing so in court or an investigation, leaving you paying up for damages or injuries that may very well have also been staged.
