Car Insurance Fraud
As with any form of insurance, car insurance gets its fair share of fraudulent cases. Aside from scamming insurance companies, car insurance scammers may involve innocent motorists in their schemes. In most cases, this involves purposefully causing an accident so that he or she may claim on their insurance and get money for damages incurred.

How Accident-Related Scams Work
The objective of car insurance scammers is to get you to crash into their cars. By doing this, they can claim on insurance, getting money for the accident even though they caused it. Some of the common methods insurance scammer employ are:
- Braking suddenly so the driver behind will rear-end them
- Waving a driver into a queued line of traffic, then crashing into that driver and denying having waved
- Swoop and squat, in which “swoop” cars force a driver behind the “squat car,” which is filled with several passengers and stops abruptly, causing a collision
This list mentions just a few methods scammers use and is by no means comprehensive. If you think you may have been the victim of an insurance scammer, you should contact a car accident lawyer who can help you prove your case.
