BLOG EXTRA: Scam Alert -- Look Out For Car Insurance Refererral Fraud!
If it doesn’t sound right to you – don’t do it. According to this blogger, ultimately policy holders end up forking out lots of money for “overly priced or improper payments” associated with an insurance claim. There are many examples of how this can happen. An attorney could pay finders fees to a tow truck driver for referring personal injury auto accident victims to them. Or an attorney may be in the payroll of a health care provider to refer victims to them. Both are outright illegal. The same applies to tow truck operators who refer auto accident victims to body shops. The best way to avoid getting scammed is to be well informed and educated. If you need a personal injury lawyer, do your research, ask trusted friends and hire a reputed personal injury law firm and attorney with an impeccable track record.
