Faking Car Insurance Fraud
Car insurance fraud is of late becoming a very big problem not just in US but also in countries like Britain and those in the European Union. The sad thing is that most of these insurance fraudsters are becoming more and more cunning and creative with each passing day which makes it very difficult to nail them. It is now not surprising for insurance buyers to stage car accidents and then make claims for either personal injury or car compensation. Someone may also be cunning enough to craft out a scenario where he or she claims to have had an expensive vehicle model (non existent) that was stolen. The idea behind such a lie would be to fraudulently claim the value of such luxury car. Such kinds of frauds have cost billions of US dollars to insurance …show more content…
These medical practitioners will do numerous tests on the claimant to ascertain that they aren't faking their injuries. Faking car crash injuries has become a very common phenomenon where the claimants collude with doctors and lawyers in their sinister plans which make it very difficult for the insurance companies to suspect foul play. Such doctors and layers will then share the loot with the claimant and this has severely hurt the economy. The insurers may hire a special unit of investigators to follow such a claimant every inch of the way. Of course, if they are faking the injuries it wouldn't be a surprise if they are caught somewhere in a night club probably dancing the night away. The investigators will record such incidences in a video camera as proof that the claimant can't be carrying such heavy injuries as they claim and at the same time have such high level of mobility.

The insurers are also utilizing the social media to nail the car insurance fraudsters. It so happens that most car insurance fraudsters have a loose tongue and will be led by their pride to brag on social media about how they executed their con artistry. The insurer may thereafter take such statements and use them as evidence in a court of law proving that the claimant is indeed a fraudster.

All in all, there is great hope that the insurance companies will win the war against these merciless insurance fraudsters who are ruining the economy for the innocent

    Case Law / Emtala

    • 969 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The article I chose to discuss was a court case involving the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). A Dickinson County hospital violated EMTALA for failing to provide emergency care for a patient who was transferred to a different hospital without being completely stable enough for transfer. In 1985, Congress passed the law of “Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act” also known as (EMTALA) to ensure public access and treatment to emergency services regardless of race, ability to pay, or legal status (U.S. Dept. of Health, 2010). This act states that all individuals needing emergency medical support should never be discharged or transferred until their condition is stable. This act also states that hospitals should then provide stabilizing treatment for patients with emergency medical conditions. If a hospital cannot stabilize a patient within its capability, the hospitals duty is then to treat the patient’s condition and in the event the patient needs to be transferred to become stable then a risk and benefit consent form needs to be signed by the patient. The transferring physician must also sign a certificate that explains the transfer outweighs the risks of not being transferred. In this paper I will examine the court case and convey how this case relates to the nature, sources, and functions of the law.…

    To be awarded damages under the tort of negligence, a claimant ‘must prove that the defendant is at fault for the injuries cited’ (Fenn et al, 2003, p.272), with fault being the operative word here. There are four key areas to consider under a negligence rule, these are: ‘(1) establishment of a duty of care, (2) evidence that the physician’s services did not conform to the appropriate standard of care, (3) a determination that the failure to act in accordance with the duty of care was the cause of the harm, and (4) existence of a physically objective and ascertainable injury’ (Horwitz & Brennan, 1995, p.167). The effect of this is an injurer is only liable for the cost of accidents if they have taken…

    Rainmaker

    • 651 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Dennis Kucinich once said, “Everyone should have health insurance? I say everyone should have health care. I'm not selling insurance.” I believe every individual should have health care insurance, where they are wealthy, or in poverty level. After watching the movie “Rainmaker”, I realized how health insurance could save a life. As for an insurance company like the Great Benefit, they must have not had a loved one who needed health coverage so desperately to try and save themselves from death. The Great Benefit was quite like a fraud company. They collect money from individuals and families who have applied and use the money on useless things, rather than trying to save a life. They would pay employees a large amount of money to resign and keep shut about how they insurance company works. Out of about 11,000 applicants, more than 9,000 were denied coverage, preventing Donnie Ray from getting a life-saving bone marrow transplant. In section U of the Great Benefit’s policy, they stated that they offer bone marrow transplants as it is one of their priorities. With this, I learned never to be involved in an insurance company that commits fraudulent actions. I learned to always be take my career seriously because if one mistake is made, I will pay a price that is more than how much I gained with the mistakes I made. I learned to report any inappropriate actions that I witness, even if I am an employee of the same company. Never write false statements, letters, or forge signatures. Never take confidential paper work home as there can be serious consequences. But especially, never collect a patient or applicant’s money especially when that is all they have to save themselves or their loved ones. The “Rainmaker” taught me that because an insurance company collected money from applicants without giving what they paid for, the company loses and eventually has to pay back what they collected, then an additional thousand, or even millions of dollars. Donny…

    This act sparked interest in the attorney general of Texas, who concluded that the cars were rigged and subsequently charged Volvo with consumer fraud. Although engineers in their research determined that the Volvo car could withstand the weight of a five ton truck and that the advertisement was not misleading, the Volvo car company quickly settled the lawsuit, reimbursed the state of Texas for its legal fees and investigation expenses. As well they ran corrective ads in which the company stated they were ignorant of the alterations made to the vehicle in the filming of the ad; however they justified the need for it by saying it was necessary for the filming of the commercial.…
