Insurance fraud is on the rise in New York, and law enforcement is diligently working to curb it. At the Kimberly J Brennan Agency, we are contributing to this effort. While law enforcement tackles large-scale fraud, we focus on smaller cases. With our extensive experience in dealing with home insurance fraud, we aim to transform this stressful situation into a manageable one.
Procedure to Report Home Insurance Fraud in New York
To report a home insurance fraud, visit our office and file a claim. We will require photographs, videos, and documents related to the alleged incident. Following this, our fraud team or a third-party agency will conduct an investigation. The outcome of their investigation will decide whether to proceed with the case. It is crucial to respond to any follow-up inquiries to strengthen your case. We aim to resolve the issue within a few weeks, but the timeline may vary depending on the complexity of the case.
If your mortgage or government program is linked to the alleged issue, we will notify your lender and HUD. We refer significant cases to the New York State Department and the National Insurance Crime Bureau, who may request additional information.
Importance of Reporting Home Insurance Fraud
Regrettably, many New Yorkers do not report insurance fraud. By not reporting, you indirectly aid criminals in evading justice, allowing them to continue their illegal activities until they are caught. Reporting halts their activities and prevents them from committing more serious crimes in the future. It also helps other potential victims avoid falling into the same trap and keeps repeat offenders under surveillance, thereby keeping them away from the public.
Victims of insurance fraud often require support to return to everyday life. We are with you every step of the way as you report home insurance fraud. We will explain the process in detail and keep you updated until the issue is resolved.
