The Dangerous Nature of Federal Charges

Insurance Fraud Heavily Punished in Colorado

Insurance fraud occurs when individuals or non-licensed entities sell bogus or illegal insurance. This crime has been on the rise because more and more consumers are looking for affordable insurance solutions during this time of economic hardship. Fraud can also occur when an insurance agent deceives the insurance company and the consumer by issuing a false certificate of insurance. This alleged certificate of insurance may be priced at a much lower cost and may appear more affordable. The most common types of this insurance fraud relate to auto and commercial policies, and many consumers are reporting unpaid claims. A third kind of insurance fraud occurs when someone deceives an insurance company with the aim of collecting money that they do not fully need.

Depending on the type of fraud that you are alleged to have committed, you may be facing misdemeanor or felony charges. You might be facing very large fines and even prison time if you get convicted for an insurance fraud charge.
