Insurance Fraud Hurts All of Us. Learn What You Can Do to Help.
Insurance fraud is a significant challenge facing us today. The problem can range from such things as fabricated claims, exaggerated losses, or organized criminal rings. Its reach can include multiple insurance companies and span virtually every state.
What We Are Doing to Fight Insurance Fraud
Safeco understands that insurance fraud hurts everyone – including our policyholders, our agents and our community as a whole. To help protect you, we have a special program staffed with dedicated field investigators whose function is to identify and investigate suspected fraud.
These investigators work closely with law enforcement agencies to help stamp out insurance fraud. Safeco also spends a significant amount of time and money on the education of our claims staff, underwriting department and agents to identify red flags that signal potential insurance fraud.
