Mere moments away from unsealing the highly anticipated list of 2013 inductees to the “Insurance Fraud Hall of Shame,” James Quiggle, director of communications at the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud (known as The Coalition), is divulging some of the year's highlights, or low lights (as it were) in a PropertyCasualty360 exclusive.

The forthcoming list represents just one of many initiatives spearheaded by the Coalition to enhance public awareness and educate the industry about the heinous crime (and many variations) of insurance fraud, which siphoned an estimated $64 billion from U.S. p&c insurers last year. That number is expected to swell to $80 billion by 2015, according to Aite Group.

As insurance carriers, law enforcement and other entities wage war on fraud, the Coalition continues to serve as a resource and unfortunate holding cell for the latest breaking news about arrests, pervasive schemes and individual cons preying on both l&h and p&c insurers and their customers. The Coalition's annual list effectively puts a face on fraud while challenging us to reassess its impact and make—and adhere to—resolutions in the new year.
