An underwriting pool in Florida plans to pay the salary of a prosecutor assigned to pursue auto injury fraud cases in the Miami area, an insurance trade group said.

The decision by the Joint Underwriting Association to provide the funds was noted by the National Association of Independent Insurers based in Des Plaines, Ill.

Tammie Torres, a spokesperson for the Florida Insurance Department, said that “a lot of things have to be worked out” and full details of the plan would be announced Friday.

NAII praised the JUA decision to provide $150,000 for the position at a time when state expenditures have been crimped by budget problems.
