STAGED ACCIDENTS
Fraudulent accident claims and staged accidents have become a major issue for the insurance industry resulting in millions of dollars of vulnerabilities annually. The economy and infiltration of organized crime have made the insurance industry victims of this solvable crime. IRG’s SIU – Insurance Services specialize in staged accidents and conduct a full range of investigative processes including accident reconstruction. We conduct the following steps in the investigative process:
- Complete review of the insurance file;
- Contact/consult with the insurance adjuster;
- Obtain and review the police file/report;
- Identify “red flags”;
- Interview the police officer(s) involved;
- Determine insurance priority;
- Attend scene – sketches, photographs and measurements;
- Interview driver and occupants;
- Interview third parties;
- Interview independent witnesses;
- Interview tow truck drivers (where possible);
- Obtain photos/tapes from Collision Reporting Centres (CRC);
- Examine and photograph the vehicles (if possible);
- Obtain environmental reports;
- Expert analysis of evidence collected; and
- Provide recommendations for further investigation such as examinations under oath (EUO’s) and accident reconstruction.
