Illinois Fraudulent Insurance Claims Defense Lawyers

Aggressive Insurance Fraud Attorneys Serving Clients in Chicago and Nationwide

Insurance fraud costs insurers millions of dollars each year. Consumers regularly make all types of false claims, such as claiming to have a debilitating medical condition, claiming vehicle or personal property theft, lying about the cause of damage to their home, and countless others. In recent years, scams involving fraudulent insurance claims have become increasingly sophisticated, and it is becoming more challenging to discern the difference between a fraudulent and legitimate claim.

At BCM Law, P.C., we have provided skilled insurance law and litigation for clients since 1997. Our award-winning lawyers have handled numerous fraudulent insurance claims in local venues throughout the state.

We are familiar with all the latest fraudulent schemes affecting the insurance industry, and we are committed to fighting aggressively against them, so those responsible are held accountable and your costs are kept to a minimum.

Common Signs of Insurance Fraud

Our experienced attorneys understand what red flags to look for to identify a fraudulent claim. Some of the most common include:

• Late Notice of Claim
• Impeding Access to Claim Information
• Criminal Conduct
• Exaggeration of Damages

We understand the need to press for evidence of fraud along all points of the insurance transaction, including going back to the very earliest application paperwork. Fraud can and does occur at the application stage, upon the first manifestation of the claim, when the claim is actually filed, and after the claim is processed and funds are disbursed. We perform a rapid and thorough investigation to identify any evidence of fraud, no matter where along the process it occurred.

Coverage and Claims Handling

We serve insurance carriers in all disputes and claims, ranging from simple demands-for-coverage to complex multilateral, million-plus-dollar claims for first- and third-party extra-contractual bad faith liability. We offer consultation on insurance fraud, loss investigation, settlement practices, claims handling, and much more. Our network of skilled investigators, expert witnesses, and other specialists can uncover evidence of nonexistent bodily injuries, proof of arson claimed as an act of God, and show fictional theft. We swiftly and precisely advise our clients regarding litigation strategy, exposure, settlement value, and potential outcomes.
