Tampa is state’s second-worst city for bogus insurance claims

As it has since 2008, Tampa remains the second worst city in Florida for fraudulent auto insurance claims. Miami stayed in the top spot and Orlando maintained its third-place ranking. The National Insurance Crime Bureau released its analysis of questionable claims for Florida and found that 22,679 claims were referred to the bureau for further examination last year, a 34 percent increase from 2008. Of those 22,679 questionable claims, 84 percent came from personal automobile policies.
