Comment on We Found Insurance Fraud in Our Crash Data

Comments

Why would it be unlikely that the person committing fraud is under the influence? There's no reason to assume that.

Because they know that a cop is about to show up, is my guess.

I read that as assuming the fraudsters were professionals in a sense, i.e. doing it in an organized way. Wouldn't those kinds of criminals try to keep it looking clean?

Some states have "alcohol-exclusion laws" which make it possible for insurers to deny coverage if you had a car accident while intoxicated.

I guess that might be one explanation?
