- Auto insurance
- Homeowner’s insurance
- Life insurance
- Medical insurance
- Other insurance
Virtually any individual or business with insurance may face allegations of fraud after filing a claim if it is suspected or discovered that the claim may have been filed when no actual losses occurred, when the value of the claim is higher than the property lost or when the insured caused the damages him or herself.
