Washington Launches New Insurance Fraud Web Site

Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is using his office's Web site to help fight insurance fraud.

In an effort to protect consumers, the fraud section of the site has been expanded to educate people on how to recognize and avoid fraud, and to make reporting easier. It also features facts about fraud and examples of real cases.

"Insurance fraud is a widespread problem and many people never think about it or consider how it affects them," Kreidler said. "For example, people might think that padding an insurance claim is a victimless crime, but they're wrong. Every one of us pays more to make up for people who cheat the system.
