Insurance companies prefer to keep bogus and unjustified clams out of sight

According to a report from the Insurance Chamber of Commerce (PIU), each year there are over 5,500 fraudulent attempts to cheat insurance companies which add up to roughly zl. 83 million. "We can say that many insurers do not like publicizing when such criminal acts come to light as revealing them might hurt the company," said Marek Molak from the PIU. Polish life insurance companies in particular try to not to publicize cases. Property insurers faced fraudulent and unjustified claims of zl. 80.9 million, while clients managed to receive unjustified compensation worth zl. 14.5 million, with car insurance fraud trailing in behind.(Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) M.M.
