Charged with Insurance Fraud? 3 things you need to know

Being charged with any crime, especially a serious one like insurance fraud, is a difficult experience for anyone. Whether the allegation came around because of a seemingly minor occurrence, such as a mistake on a car insurance application, or something major like a suspicious building fire, the very nature of fraud and the implications it carries make the allegation a very concerning one.

Some reassuring news, however, is that the process of responding to any allegation – and going to trial if necessary – can be made much easier by getting the right information from the right people.

If you or someone you know has been charged with insurance fraud, read on to discover some of the most common issues and misconceptions that can lead to unnecessary confusion and stress in the criminal process.

What is insurance fraud?

Insurance fraud is a specific type of general fraud. In its most basic form, fraud is committed when someone attempts to gain a benefit or advantage to which they are not entitled.

In the insurance context, fraud might involve someone trying to obtain a pay-out for a staged accident or someone having secured cheaper insurance premiums by lying on their application for that insurance.

On the flip side, in some instances, insurance fraud may actually be committed by insurers. It may be the case, for example, that an insurer knowingly denies someone a benefit that is due to them in order to save the company money or because of some discrimination against the claimant.

For the purposes of this article, we focus on individuals who are alleged to have committed insurance fraud.

What does the law say about insurance fraud?

Recall that insurance fraud is a specific type of fraud, and thus a good starting point is the law that applies to fraud in general.

In England, the offence of fraud is dealt with by several pieces of legislation. Indeed, there are a number of regulations in existence to tackle the variety of ways in which fraud – including insurance fraud – may be committed. The main rules applicable to individuals involved in insurance fraud are contained in the Fraud Act 2006.

The Fraud Act 2006 creates what is known as a ‘general offence’ of fraud. Outside of limited commercial contexts, this is the offence into which most cases of insurance fraud will fall.

The general offence of fraud is set out in section 1. There are three ways of committing the offence, which are also set out in the Act:

• fraud by false representation (section 2)
• fraud by failure to disclose information when there is a legal duty to do so (section 3)
• fraud by abuse of position (section 4)

In any case of fraud, there are two requirements that the prosecution must prove. Firstly, the defendant’s conduct must have been dishonest. Secondly, the defendant’s intention must have been to make a gain or cause a loss or the risk of a loss to another.

It is important to note that no gain or loss needs to have been made; merely the intention of the defendant to cause that loss is sufficient.

These are the basic elements that the prosecution will be trying to prove in any case of insurance fraud against an individual. If the prosecution is successful, the Fraud Act 2006 sets out a maximum sentence of ten years’ imprisonment.

So, what do those charged with insurance fraud need to know?

Insurance fraud is undoubtedly complex topic, and there is no wonder that there are so many complicated issues and pervasive misconceptions surrounding the offence and its impacts on people’s lives.

Many of the most challenging issues around insurance fraud relate to the nature of the offence itself. How is it that inactions (i.e. not doing something) might constitute insurance fraud? What happens if the statements or claims made were partly true – is that still insurance fraud? And what are the long-term financial impacts of having committed insurance fraud?

In the remainder of this article, we shed some light on some of these important questions.

1. Insurance fraud can be committed by omission

 Often through no fault of their own, people believe that insurance fraud can only be committed by actually doing something. After all, that is what criminals do, surely? They commit offences, and that implies positive action?

True as that may be for most crimes, some criminal offences may actually be committed by not doing something. Insurance fraud is one of them.

A person can commit fraud by failing to do something that they are legally required to do. Usually, this involves the failure to disclose information when legally required to do so, such as on an application form. Someone may, for example, fail to notify an insurance company of their involvement in a road accident knowing that it would increase their premiums on car insurance.

Offences of this nature are covered by section 3 of the Fraud Act 2006. To be found guilty of this offence, the prosecution must prove that the defendant failed to disclose information to another person when he or she was under a legal duty to disclose that information, dishonestly intending, by that failure, to make a gain or cause a loss. Each element must be proved by the prosecution, and each will involve separate evidence.

2. ‘Half-truths’ can count as insurance fraud (fronting) 

It is important to note that fraud may be committed even where the defendant is partially telling the truth. This is because the legal definition of dishonesty encompasses such cases, and it is this dishonesty that the prosecution is seeking to prove.

In English law, ‘dishonesty’ is defined by the case law. According to R v Ghosh [1982] 1QB 1053, it must be asked:

• whether what was done would be considered ‘dishonest’ by the ordinary standards of reasonable and honest people? and
• whether the defendant realised that what he/she was doing was, by those standards, ‘dishonest’?

Unfortunately, there is little specific guidance on what ‘dishonest’ means in these contexts, but it is clear that the objective standard is used. In other words, what matters is what reasonable people think is dishonest, not what the defendant thinks.

In this regard, it does not matter whether the defendant thinks they were acting honestly, or in part honestly. The question of what counts as ‘dishonesty’ is one for the jury.

A good example of half-truths counting as dishonesty is fronting. Fronting is especially common with automotive insurance, and it occurs when someone declares his or herself as the main driver of a car, where in fact, the main driver is another person.

This is very common indeed with parents who are trying to secure lower car insurance prices for their teenage sons or daughters. Even though the parents may be a driver on the car, if the teen driver is the main driver in reality, the parents may be prosecuted for fraud for claiming that it was them on the application.

Some may not see the actions of the parents as dishonest, as they were declaring themselves as well as their child as the drivers, but it is – according to most reasonable people – dishonest to declare that one person is the main driver when in actual fact they are not, recalling that the purpose in doing so is to obtain a benefit (cheaper insurance) that they are not entitled to. 

3. Insurance fraud can affect financial relationships in the long-term

It is unfortunate that some crimes have long-term effects that far exceed any punishment imposed by the court. Insurance fraud is one of them.

The reality of the situation is that even if someone served a prison sentence or paid a substantial fine to ‘repay’ society for the fraud committed, they are, in a way, punished further by the disadvantage that they will be placed at in regard to future financial relationships.

It is common knowledge that the losses due to fraud in the insurance industry are passed onto customers, and this is true especially of insurance customers who have previously committed fraud.

Even if they feel reformed by the criminal process, those who have committed fraud in the past are seen as presenting a risk to insurers in future. The practical effects of this could be a denial of coverage, cancelation of coverage upon discovery of the fraud (for existing policies), and a much higher rate quoted for premiums.

Remember that to fail to disclose any conviction for insurance fraud on an application is in itself an act of insurance fraud, and so going forward after the conviction, it is imperative to be 100% honest with insurance companies.

These difficulties may extend to other financial relationships, and offenders may find it difficult to obtain credit, including mortgages.

Thank you so much to Mohammed Zeb And Sophie. We was supported in all steps along the way of my little sister’s case. They made us extremely comfortable and sufficiently advised us in every aspect. All of our questions were answered in detail and all information we needed was clearly outlined to us. With the prosecution pushing for jail time, Mr Zeb was able to quickly diffuse the situation in court and get an outcome for us that was much less detrimental. We are so happy that we chose to go with this firm and would recommend Stuart Miller to any and everyone. Thank you again to Mr Zeb and Sophie for all your support, we will never forget it.

We had an issue with the police raising an incorrect safeguarding issue against our daughter because we used a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) which they disagreed with (wet cupping therapy). The police wanted us to sign a community resolution order admitting that we assaulted our child! We spoke to Mohammed Zeb who swiftly acted to contact experts in our field and his field, along with experts in social services matters and gave us recommendations to challenge the police. Their weak case quickly dissolved into no further action when the police realised that we would not accept a resolution order claiming we assaulted our child.I would strongly recommend Mr Zeb to all and would use nobody but them in the future.

Stuart Millers were great at dealing with a tricky case and managed to get a great outcome. From the first meeting and hearing, Abu Kibla was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful and you can see a genuine care for his clients. Luke Collins did the day to day and was great at preparing clear written representations and dealing with the CPS. Kathleen Joyce attended the final hearing and despite a last minute time change by the court the day before, she was well prepared, presented the case and mitigation arguments perfectly and was very reassuring and comforting throughout the whole day. Professional, responsive and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend the firm.

Unfortunately I got myself into abit of trouble and didn't have a solicitor at the time. When I was in the police station I was asked if I wanted a solicitor and I said yes and I was then put in a cell till I was interviewed. Officer come to my cell to take me to my interview and asked if I wanted to consult with my solicitor I said yes, when we got to the Consultation room Mr Zeb was waiting for me and he ensured me that everything was going to be okay and this case will be solved with no problems at all and he was right I got NFA and the case was dropped that's all thanks to Mr Zeb he was very professional in this field and was intouch with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on. I will definitely use this firm again in future.

Words can not do justice to Stuart Miller Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Mohammad Zeb and Savannah who came to me like angels along with their appointed barrister Harry Mcdonald when my son was on trial. With my son having three charges against him along with joint enterprise which included affray and violent disorder. They took the case on and from the very 1st day kept me updated with the progress and supported me throughout the case. With my son in remand and a serious injury to his face they kept him motivated and in the right frame of mind with video links. Also they were available to him even on weekends if he had any questions. Their guidance and professionalism was absolutely outstanding. Savannah was superb throughout this case. Her approach to everything made it easy for me and my family. The barrister Harry took the case on at short notice and what a outstanding approach he had. Being in court for the 1st time for my son he represented my son superbly. After arguing his defence for my son for 7 gruelling days my son was found not guilty of all charges. I can not praise Stuart Miller enough. A must go to firm if you are in a unfortunate situation and need legal help. Wish Mohammad Zeb, Savannah, Harry Mcdonald and everyone at Stuart Miller the very best for the future. A very big thank you from me and my family.

Unfortunately got myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. My solicitor was great, but attention needs to be drawn especially to Amirah. She well and truly went over and beyond what most people would do, to help me resolve the situation. Nothing was ever too much, in fact it was her who pushed things further than I'd have even asked her to, she really does care about not just her occupation, but the people she helps. Cannot say enough good things about her... not just good legal representation, but an actual lovely person who genuinely cares, and you don't get that very often anymore. So, thank you to Stuart Miller Solicitors in Wood Green, but definitely, more importantly, to Amirah.

Jake Elliott

11:46 02 Aug 23

Abu Kibla represented me for my second drink driving offence, and not only that I had no license or insurance. Perhaps I am exposing myself saying that but you need the context as Kibla managed to get my ban reduced from 3 years to 2.5, and only a 200 pound fine. Aside from being very professional at what he does, he's also a good guy, who has your back. He explained my situation to the judge in a clear way I wouldn't have been able to. Don't hesitate!

R M

20:05 01 Aug 23

I would like to thank everyone at Stuart miller especially to Kibla for their excellent work. At a time when things were very hard for me they helped me win my case. I hoped for total support from Stuart Miller when I instructed them, I got so much more. I would highly recommend Stuart Miller to anyone seeking for a reliable legal team. Many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant.

I really don't know where to start, but this firm is amazing. From my initial contact, then my first meeting With Mr Zeb, I knew I was going to be in good hands.I found myself in a very difficult situation in March 2019 and my case did not come to an end until July of this year. Throughout, there has always been good communication and although the outcome of my case was not looking good, I'm glad the team were honest about what to expect.I would like to thank Reem Khatib especially, who went above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor. Very thorough and informative and helped put my mind at ease as there were several aspects of my case that made things extremely difficult. One thing I loved about Reem was that she cared. Really, really cared, which is what you want in a situation like this. In the lead up to my sentencing hearing, Reem was abroad and still checked in with me.I was expecting a custodial sentence with a starting point of 5 years and managed to leave court with a suspended sentence/community service. This could only be down to Reem's dedication and hard work. Nobody expected this and I am very glad to have had her working on my case. As well as my Barrister, Lily, special thanks to you also. I really don't think I would have had this outcome had it not have been for you two.I am glad this is finally over and once again would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Reem. She really fought for the best possible outcome, which I received.I will never find myself in any trouble again, but would highly recommend Stuart Miller Solicitors for anyone that may need a solicitor.Thanks againJahnel

Stuart Miller helped me navigate through the legal process for the first time, providing excellent guidance throughout the entirety of such a stressful period. I would like to thank Selina Guler for her wonderful work in preparing my defence, as well as Joe Barlow, who were exceptionally helpful throughout the process, explaining everything that arose in detail so as to ensure I could make informed decisions throughout. My experience felt personalised, and gave me the reassurances I needed to calm my nerves, in comparison to the regular ignorant demeanour that typically comes hand in hand with law firms. I felt supported and in safe hands from my initial enquiry right through to the end.
