Fraud costs the insurance industry an estimated $1.3 to $2.6 billion annually. In a December 2006 article published in Canadian Underwriter, between 20 and 30 percent of all property and casualty claims have some element of fraud. In order to effectively combat Insurance Fraud, all areas of industry must work together, including the use of qualified third party investigators.
