Both insurer claim personnel and agents should know that suspicious claims have common attributes collated into lists called, The Red Flags of Fraud. Created as training aids, these lists are used to determine whether further investigation may be required to determine if a claim is false or fraudulent. Categories vary, ranging from those associated with the claim itself or with insureds, to indicators of specific types of fraud, such as bodily injury or arson for profit.
