Weapons for derailing auto accident frauds include “Dumpster diving” to sift evidence from garbage, close surveillance and injury chart comparisons, a pair of experts advised investigators at a recent international fraud conference in Dallas.
Atlanta attorney William P. Claxton of Claxton & Claxton and Larry G. Henning vice president of MJM Investigations Inc. in Morrisville, N.C. made their suggestions at the annual seminar of the Baltimore-based International Association of Special Investigative Units.
Their arsenal of methods were outlined during a session that included a give-and-take dialogue with the audience and a video dramatizing the types of scenarios used by insurance cheats.
Scene number one in the video demonstrated elements of a “jump in” fraud.
