16 people, 250 million dollars, and a massage parlor all involved in Insurance Fraud. Now do you think the Legislators in Tall. did nothing this past session. The new bill signed by Governor Scott will do little about Fraud, it may cut down on Massages for Car Injuries, but not much else. The Governor should have forced a special session for real reform instaead of the bill that will do little to really help.This bust is just showing us that so much Fraud is out there and they have no knowledge on how to control it so it will continue w/ differant methods until the Lawmakers decide the time is really here.

Insurance companies have the abtliiy to check:1. Your Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) which shows any tickets, license suspensions, DUIs, or any infraction that would be registered with the state.2. Your claims history report called a CLUE report. A CLUE report will show any time within the last 5 7 years that you made a claim on your insurance.3. The registered owner of any vehicle on your policy. (This is usually checked when you file a claim.)Be honest on your application though. If an insurance company can prove that you made a material misrepresentation on your application, they can void coverage. Some insurance companies will look for anything they can to deny a claim. EXAMPLE: I had a client come to me from another agent. This client filed a claim on his insurance because his friend from college, who was living with him at the time, drove his car and got in an accident. My client answered there were no other household drivers on his application when in fact his buddy was a household driver. The insurance company looked at his application and got my client to withdraw the claim. We eventually got the insurance company to cover the claim, but it was a headache none the less.Bottom line, be as honest as you can. I don’t recommend putting yourself in a position for an insurance company to have grounds for denying your claim because they suspect you lied on an application. It’s not worth it.
