FAQ: Reliability
How does your auto insurance company handle fraud?
When you’re in an accident you have a lot to worry about. Yet, in addition to dealing with injury, car damage, and filing a claim with your auto insurance company, you may also have to deal with fraud. Unfortunately, phony auto insurance claims are more common than you may think. At Esurance, we're committed to fighting auto insurance fraud. If you think you’re a victim of a phony claim, put Esurance’s Special Investigations Unit on the case!
The most common forms of auto insurance fraud include:
- Buying a policy after an incident has occurred
- Falsely reporting a vehicle as stolen
- Claiming more damage than actually occurred
- Intentionally causing auto accidents or vehicle damage
- Submitting phony injury claims or inflated medical bills
- Misrepresenting application information
