The good news for insurers–nearly 80 percent of New Yorkers polled would not increase an insurance claim by even a small amount to make up for insurance premiums paid when they had no claims. The bad news–20 percent would puff up a claim.
Albany, N.Y.-based New York Alliance Against Insurance Fraud (NYAAIF) announced the survey findings today.
“Three out of four New Yorkers rightfully believe that honesty is the best policy when it comes to filing an insurance claim. But we have to convince that fourth person it is in their best interest to do so, too,” said Tom Sullivan, chairman of the NYAAIF.
