Recent examples of criminal insurance fraud in New York1 and elsewhere across the country2 highlight the continuing nature of the insurance fraud problem, despite significant efforts by local and state prosecutors and insurance companies themselves to combat it.
Increasing sophistication on the part of criminals, and increased resources available to them, is helping to make a growing number of insurance frauds more than a one-state problem. That is of concern because when a fraud involves multiple states, detection can be more difficult. It also can lead to jurisdictional questions over prosecution, with defendants arguing that a particular state does not have the authority to make them pay for their actions.
