Insurance fraud is a very serious problem, estimated to cost the insurance industry and honest policyholders $50 billion every year.
At NLdH, we understand exactly how serious this problem is, which is why we are ready to stand up for the rights of our clients and fight insurance fraud. Not only do we take action to prevent it, but we take action against those who commit it. Our attorneys have significant experience in affirmatively prosecuting civil insurance fraud matters in the state and federal courts, utilizing both federal and state-specific insurance fraud statutes.
Our attorneys are pioneers in the area of reverse bad faith. We are among the first to file lawsuits against policyholders who have attempted to submit large scale fraudulent claims against an insurer. Our clients come to us knowing that we will work hard to recover any damages suffered.
Our law firm provides advice and representation involving a full range of insurance fraud issues, including:
- Underwriting/premium fraud
- Broker and managing general agent fraud
- Acts of fraud involving arson for profit
- Fraud involving stolen art and collectibles
- Commercial stock fraud
- Life, health and disability insurance fraud
- Organized fraud rings involving runners or cappers, repair shops and medical and/or legal professionals
We have litigated cases in state and federal courts throughout the United States. We know how to devise strategies for successful resolutions to insurance fraud and reverse bad faith matters, including conducting examinations under oath at the scene of a loss, thus preserving evidence that may later prove useful in the handling of the claim. We understand the importance of interviewing the insured's public adjusters and accountants, as well as arranging for forensic experts to actually participate in the questioning of insureds or the insureds' experts on technical issues in order to form the basis of expert opinions.
Members of our team also serve on the Board of Directors of the International Association of Special Investigation Units ("IASIU") and have worked closely with Pennsylvania's Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority (IFPA) and the Pennsylvania Auto Crime Investigators Association (PACIA).
Our lawyers have served the insurance industry in a variety of capacities for more than 30 years, working where the fight against insurance fraud has mattered most. We have worked with federal and state prosecutors, representatives of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the FBI, as well as state and local fire marshals. We work closely with any individuals who can help us get a resolution for our clients.
NLdH is proud of the reputation we have earned throughout the insurance industry. Learn more about our record of success.
