Fraud of the Week – When the Garbage is in the Claim not the Truck 

 

Commercial Auto Fraud – Louisiana 

 

Amount – Potentially $4 million 

 
Four people were arrested in connection with fraudulent claims from an accident in 2025 with a garbage truck. Suspicious claims activity was tied to the accident, and the insurer referred the claim to the Insurance Fraud Division. The suspects made false statements during the claims investigation to secure payment they were not entitled to. The suspects were either apprehended or turned themselves in and booked into jail.
