Are you facing insurance fraud charges
Insurance fraud is an act of fraud that is committed with the intention of fraudulently obtaining a large or unjustified payment form an insurance company. This crime is a growing concern in the United States, and as such, it is being tirelessly investigated and prosecuted. If you have been arrested and charged with insurance fraud, you need to contact a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney from our firm today. Insurance fraud can be a federal crime, which could mean facing an aggressive prosecution team and strict federal sentencing guidelines.
Insurance fraud is generally done through exaggerating injuries and claims, or even deliberately causing or staging accidents or damage in order to get a payoff. If an innocent bystander was injured due to a fake accident, that will enhance the charges and lead to a harsher sentence. If anyone was harmed during the scheme, up to 20 years of prison time may be issued. If someone was killed as a result of the scheme, the perpetrator can spend life in prison. That is why it is essential that you speak with an experienced attorney about your case.
