Except for income tax evasion, insurance fraud is the most costly "white-collar" crime committed in the United States. Insurance companies are not the only ones who pay the price for this crime; consumers also pay. Insurance fraud occurs every day and in every state. People of all races, incomes and ages are victimized. Insurance fraud costs Americans at least $80 billion a year, or nearly $950 for each family, the Coalition for Insurance Fraud estimates.
