Beware of YOUR Insurance Company Accusing YOU of FRAUD

Posted By: Tony Baratta | September 19th, 2019

State Farm promises, “it’s here to help life go right” and that it’s “like a good neighbor”.

Erie Insurance sells its products by proclaiming, “Do more of what you love because your good life is protected by Erie Insurance”.

But sometimes the insurance company puts its own profits over its customers best interests.

Please read the attached article to learn how insurance companies in Pennsylvania pay the salaries of county prosecutors and investigators to bring fraud claims against its own insureds, and in some instances have taken that funding away when it perceives not enough prosecutions are brought.

Then ask yourself two questions:
1. Is it possibly a conflict of interest for the insurance companies to do this?
2. When you make a claim, should you ask for help from a lawyer since the insurance company may not be the “friend” advertised?
