Auto Fraud—Washington

Amount: $5,600

 

A woman involved in a collision filed claims for injuries from the accident and received $5,600. She had actually had the claims paid for by her medical insurance. She was in another accident a few months later and filed a claim, which the carrier turned in to the insurance department's SIU. She pleaded guilty to fraud, was ordered to pay restitution for the $5,600 and $600 in court costs, and to serve eighty hours community service. Full restitution is yet to be determined.
