Staged Accident Fraud–Louisiana
Amount: Unknown
Seven people in Louisiana have been arrested for staging three separate accidents and filing fraudulent insurance claims over a five-month period. They were also involved in a “jump in” scheme some months later, where a person claims to have been in a vehicle at the time of the accident but actually was not. They were booked on multiple counts of automobile insurance fraud, felony theft, and filing or maintaining false public records.
