About 10% or more of P&C claims could be fraudulent, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Many of these claims involve workers' compensation and auto theft, says the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud (CAIF). Overall, CAIF estimates insurance fraud amounts to $308.6 billion annually in the U.S. and costs policyholders about $900 in higher premiums and other expenses.
