What is Insurance Fraud?

Insurance fraud occurs when a person acts dishonestly when taking out or claiming on an insurance policy, either to benefit themselves / another or cause a loss for someone else.

Insurance fraud covers many different situations, including:

  • Contrived accidents: Falsely claiming damages occurred due to an accident, when the accident never took place
  • Staged or induced road traffic accidents: Deliberately causing an accident and then making false claims on the innocent driver’s insurance e.g. for injuries
  • Phantom passenger claims: Claims on motor insurance policies for injuries to passengers who were not in the vehicle at the time of the accident
  • Application fraud: Failing to disclose or misrepresenting material facts in a dishonest way during the application process to lower the insurance premium, e.g. not mentioning claims history
  • Exaggerating legitimate claims: Overstating injuries and/or losses incurred due to real incidents
