If a legal case pertains to insurance in any way it can generally be deemed as a case of insurance fraud. Generally this type of fraud involves individuals or companies making false claims in order to extract money from insurance companies. However in some cases other types of fraud may be employed to obtain money or items from an insured individual or business, which may then require an insurance payout as a result of the original fraud. Like all forms of criminal law that deal with financial issues, this is a wide ranging and diverse area and experienced insurance fraud lawyers are essential in cases of this type.

Insurance fraud may be committed by someone who falsifies an event in order to obtain an insurance payout. For example, a building may be intentionally set on fire by the owner so that their insurance company will supply them with funds to rebuild. This is both arson and insurance fraud and is a very serious matter for the insurance company and for anyone who has been accused of it. A related issue is the staging of a car accident. This can involve one of more vehicles, or it may involve someone claiming to have been struck by an automobile. If the accident was in any way arranged, or if those involved are suspected of exaggerating the damage to themselves or to their vehicles this is considered a case of insurance fraud.
