There can Never be a Fraud Too Small to Void a Policy
Material Misrepresentation Concerning the Extent of Loss Voids Policy

After the district court ruled for the defendant insurance company on cross-motions for summary judgment, ending the action, the plaintiff appealed that summary-judgment ruling. In Meat Town Inc. v. Sentinel Insurance Company, Case No. 19-2351, United States Court of Appeals for The Sixth Circuit (March 30, 2021) was asked to find the fraud wasn’t big enough to stop the insured from collecting the remainder of its loss.

Two Types of Soft Fraud that are Ignored
“GOOD CAUSE” FRAUD

Morally and criminally, insurance fraud is always wrongful. Many people, within the insurance industry and outside it, believe that because insurers are so well funded that there are good causes for committing insurance fraud. A frightening trend is emerging where judges, jurors and administrative law courts are refusing to convict or hold responsible perpetrators of fraud if the court is convinced that the fraud is for a good cause.

Good News From the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud

Health Insurance Fraud Convictions
Criminal Must Pay Restitution Order

Mr. Speights was a very bad man who pled guilty to multiple criminal acts causing damage to the victims. Ohio has logically stated that a crime victim who is reimbursed by an insurer for its losses should not receive restitution. What they fail to understand is that, if the losses are insured, then the insurer is the victim and entitled to any payment of restitution since, allowing an insured to receive indemnity from its insurer and restitution would unjustly enrich the victim who should turn over anything received to its insurer.
