False and Fraudulent Auto Insurance

Miami-Dade False and Fraudulent Auto Insurance Criminal Defense Lawyer

The crime of false and fraudulent auto insurance is charged against people who knowingly present false information in their applications for car insurance, or in written statements supporting those applications. The Florida vehicle insurance fraud statute specifies that the information must be presented in writing, and it must be presented with the intent to defraud the insurer. Under state law, this is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. However, these are hefty conditions for prosecutors to meet — and prosecutors have the burden of proof. A skilled South Florida criminal defense attorney can force prosecutors to live up to their obligations and prove their claims.
