Case Study

Background

Rosenblum Law was retained to assist a client facing a serious fraud investigation by an insurance company. The client was accused of providing false information regarding the location of their vehicles on an insurance policy and filing a claim under potentially fraudulent circumstances. The situation arose after the client’s daughter had an accident with one of the insured vehicles, which was reportedly not kept at the stated location. The client, suffering from anxiety and other personal challenges, was extremely concerned about the potential legal consequences, including the possibility of criminal charges.

Challenges

The primary challenges in this case included:

1. Allegations of Fraud: The insurance company suspected that the client had misrepresented the location where the insured vehicles were stored, which could be considered insurance fraud.
2. Potential Criminal Charges: The client faced the risk of criminal charges being filed, which could lead to severe penalties, including imprisonment and fines.
3. Client’s Emotional State: The client was extremely anxious and distressed, affecting their ability to manage the situation effectively.

Legal Strategy

1. Initial Assessment and Client Support:
   • Our team provided immediate support to the client, helping them understand the gravity of the situation while ensuring that they remained calm and composed.
   • We gathered all relevant information, including details of the insurance policy, the communication with the insurance company, and any documentation that could support the client’s case.
2. Direct Communication with the Insurance Company:
   • We contacted the insurance company on behalf of the client, asserting our representation and requesting a clear outline of the alleged discrepancies and the company’s requirements for resolution.
   • Our goal was to negotiate a settlement that would resolve the matter without escalating it to criminal proceedings.
3. Negotiation and Resolution:
   • We worked closely with the insurance company to clarify the misunderstandings and address any discrepancies in the client’s statements.
   • Our team negotiated terms to rectify the situation, which included the possibility of adjusting the client’s insurance policy and addressing any financial liabilities.

Outcome
