Geico Alleges Auto Insurance Fraud

 

The auto insurance company Geico has filed a suit against an auto insurance company that they say has been perpetrating a scam against them. The auto insurance company is seeking millions of dollars in damages and restitution in regards to the scam. It would appear that the fake auto insurance claims were submitted through a professional medical corporation from a Queens medical center. They say that there are literally thousands of these false auto insurance claims that have been submitted and paid on.
 
The auto insurance company is seeking $1.8 million from the company. They said that these no fault auto insurance claims were asking for payment for radiological services that were allegedly not provided. They said that they were first alerted to the scam when the same service claims started coming through – they saw a definite pattern in the claims from the location. They said that they have been aggressively working with the state of New York to combat fraudulent auto insurance claims and when they find them they are aggressively perusing those companies that are trying to rip them off.
 
They say that any time anyone has any information regarding fraudulent auto insurance claims that they should come forward. They say that these claims only cause to drive up auto insurance premiums for honest customers. They say that they are firmly in support of “legislative reform” and “regulatory reform” so that they can keep this from happening to anyone else. They explain that in the end, everyone pays for fake auto insurance claims.
