Insurance Fraud

Those who commit insurance fraud are not easily identifiable. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) says that insurance cheats range from organized criminals, to unscrupulous doctors, lawyers, vehicle body shop owners, to ordinary people who buy insurance. Although the motivation to commit insurance fraud is always monetary, the amount also varies greatly, from a few extra dollars on an insurance claim, to thousands or more stolen by organized fraud rings.

The Insurance Information Institute estimates that property/casualty insurance fraud cost insurers $24 billion in 1999. According to Conning and Company, fraud cost the entire insurance industry $96.2 billion in 1999.

Fraud rings have followed the path of technology to the Internet in search of fraud opportunities. Along with the ease of electronic filing of medical claims is the greater potential for committing fraud. Conning's 2000 study found that 84 percent of respondents to its fraud survey agree that the use of the Internet will create new classes of insurance fraud.

In an effort to make the fastest, biggest and most luxurious ship in the world, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to any other ship that it was dubbed "unsinkableï". The company that owned it was so sure of this that it provided only twenty lifeboats and rafts, less than one half the number needed for the 2,227 passengers on board. Many passengers were aboard the night it hit an iceberg, more than halfway between England and its New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to avoid the giant iceberg. Fire on board also contributed to the ship's submersion. Panic was another factor that increased the number of casualties as people jumped into the cold water or struggled to be among the few people who managed to get on the lifeboats. A couple of hours after the disaster, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the 705 survivors. The infamous Titanic had enjoyed only two days of glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 plunging into 12.000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today. (CLIFFS, 1995 - adaptado)
