Insurance Fraud: What It Is and How It Affects You

Are you at risk of being charged with insurance fraud?
With some 20 years of experience in defending insurance fraud claims, Atlanta Attorney Jeff Manciagli has the facts you need.

Do You Know What Insurance Fraud Is?
Insurance fraud happens when the policyholder or even a service provider tries to get money from the insurer that they are not entitled to.

Fraud is classified in two degrees:

• Hard fraud – deliberately fabricating or causing an incident to report for reimbursement
• Soft fraud – stretching the truth of a situation by omitting information or exaggerating facts

Insurance Fraud Has Serious Consequences
Some people feel it’s perfectly normal to ‘milk’ their insurer for all the benefits they can get. Others believe that they can benefit from getting a little extra money without hurting anyone in the process.

In actuality, increasing rates of insurance fraud are driving up premiums for everyone. Higher insurance costs to you will in turn affect how much you can afford to charge your customers.
Here in Georgia, a charge of insurance fraud comes with serious consequences like fines and imprisonment. If someone alleges you’ve committed fraud, this isn’t something you can afford to ignore.
