Esurance Fights Fraud—You Can Too!

Nobody's safe from auto insurance fraud. Whether through increased taxes, merchandise costs, or auto insurance rates, we're all affected by this white-collar crime. In fact, insurance fraud costs Americans about $80 billion a year— that's $950 per family!

At Esurance, we're committed to fighting auto insurance fraud so you don't become the target of someone else's "get-rich-quick" scheme. Our Special Investigations Unit aggressively investigates and pursues suspicious activity; we refer cases to law enforcement agencies, which has resulted in arrests, prosecutions, and restitution.

	Common Forms of Fraud
		Buying a policy after a loss has occurred & making a claim
		Falsely reporting a vehicle as stolen
		Claiming more damage than actually occurred
		Intentionally causing or staging auto damage or accidents
		Submitting phony injury claims or inflated medical bills
		Misrepresenting application information
