Concerned
with the importance of deterring vehicle insurance fraud,
this Web Site provides information and insights about Vehicle
Pre-Insurance Inspection in general, and active programs
in a number of states. Arguably photo inspection is one of
the most effective deterrents to vehicle insurance fraud,
one of the nation’s most costly property crimes.
Pre-Insurance
Photo Inspection
From
its introduction in the late 1970's to the present, Vehicle
Pre-Insurance Inspection, often referred to as “Photo
Inspection,” has provided an effective deterrent to
those attempting to defraud an insurance carrier.
Included
in this section are informative materials and visual “tools” to
bring the serious problem of vehicle insurance fraud — and
the value of effective deterrents such as Photo Inspection — into
a sharp focus.
Vehicle
Crime Data
Since
the implementation of the first mandatory vehicle inspection
law in the U.S. in the late 1970's — New York’s “Regulation
79” — vehicle-related crime has represented about
half of the $15 billion in reported property crimes in the
U.S.
Without the pre-insurance vehicle inspection programs that
are currently in force in a number of states, the profits reaped
each year by criminals for fraudulent claims would be significantly
higher, along with the cost of vehicle insurance for the motoring
public.
This section presents important and revealing statistics that
will be continuously updated to graphically present the nature,
scope and significance of specific problems related to vehicle
insurance fraud.
