Insurance Fraud – It Costs You!

Insurance fraud is any deliberate deception perpetrated against or by an insurance company, agent or consumer for the purpose of unwarranted financial gain. It is the second most costly white-collar crime in the country, second only to tax evasion.

Insurance fraud costs are far reaching. Honest consumers pay higher insurance premiums as a result of fraud. Insurance companies face increased costs to investigate suspicious claims, and sometimes by paying claims that are not legitimate.

In an effort to fight fraud and keep your insurance premiums down, Concord Group has a Special Investigation Unit, which is responsible for investigating suspicious claims. The Unit is comprised of experienced and knowledgeable investigators who work very hard to protect your Premium dollars.

If you have witnessed a suspicious Loss or are aware of a fraudulent Claim being presented to the Concord Group, please contact your Claim Office.
