Insurance Fraud and Motor Vehicle Collisions by Robert A
Insurance Fraud and Motor Vehicle Collisions
by Robert A. DuBois
This manual tells you exactly how people are getting away
with millions of dollars in fraudulent claims. The author wastes no time in
presenting typical fraudulent claim scenarios and what can be done to disprove
them. He also explains expert ways to get to the truth of any collision.
You will find practical information that can be used by
everyone involved in settling a claim. For law enforcement officers, it
pinpoints the kinds of evidence that typically show an intent to defraud. For
insurance company representatives, it describes the crucial information that can
be brought to light by the crash investigator or reconstructionist. Doctors and
medical personnel will find explanations of the types of injuries favored by
perpetrators of fraud while personal injury attorneys will find highlights of
the circumstances that are likely to accompany the filing of fraudulent claims
resulting from staged or alleged motor vehicle crashes.
In addition to the scenarios, the author includes an
interviewing checklist, a behavioral profile of a liar, a vehicle damage
checklist, definitions of common medical terminology and multiple diagrams
showing how cars should react in particular collisions. And since photographs
lend credibility and substance to a claim, an entire chapter is devoted to
photographing the scene.
Other chapters in the manual include:
- Insurance Fraud Schemes
- The Investigation
- The Damaged Vehicle
- Occupant Kinematics
