What an Insurance-Fraud Review Should Address
Counsel may examine the policy, claim forms, photographs, estimates, medical or repair records, payment history, communications, and the alleged false statement. The review should identify who prepared each document, what information was available, and whether the evidence supports knowledge and intent.
Preserve the Claim File
Keep notices, audit requests, investigator communications, and related business or licensing records. Do not alter or delete files. Note any deadline and obtain advice before an interview, document production, or written response.
Preserve the Claim File and Related Materials
Insurance-fraud questions can involve applications, claim forms, photographs, estimates, medical or repair records, payment information, and communications. Preserve original files without backdating, deleting, or recreating them. A timeline should identify who supplied each statement, the date, and the document supporting it. A disputed claim does not by itself establish intent; the statute, evidence, and particular allegation matter.
Keep formal notices and any response deadlines together in a dated file.
Where records are held by an insurer, provider, contractor, or repair facility, identify the custodian and retain a dated record of the request for a copy.
Review the Complete Context of a Claim
A claim file can include information from policyholders, adjusters, providers, repair facilities, and other sources. Compare complete forms, attachments, and communications with the allegation, including dates and the source of each statement. That helps distinguish a factual disagreement from a conclusion about knowledge or intent.
