GEICO Accused Of Dodging Claims From Low-Income Areas

Tuesday, November 17th, 2015 Fraud Litigation Risk Management

While it’s ubiquitous advertising campaigns that have gained GEICO most of its attention, the carrier is also famous for its hardline stance against insurance fraud. Typically, insurers report cases of staged car accidents, fake injuries, and false medical bills to law enforcement. GEICO, however, chooses to tackle its fraud issues head-on by suing local chiropractors and physical therapists, forcing the practitioners into costly legal disputes.Many of the civil suit cases by GEICO end up settling, with the involved practices agreeing to turn down future GEICO clients, according to court documents, defense lawyers, and defendants.
