“One of the reasons insurance fraud succeeds” said Barry Zalma, “is that those in the insurance industry, and those who represent them, are inadequately trained to recognize fraud and to use the weapons available to defeat a fraudulent insurance claim.

"Before insurance fraud can be understood, it is important to understand what insurance is and how it works. Politicians continue to misunderstand insurance. Insurance is not a right awarded by the Constitution to every resident of the United States.  It is a contract between an insurer and a person or corporation called the insured. As the California Insurance Code says: 'Insurance is a contract whereby one undertakes to indemnify another against loss, damage, or liability arising from a contingent or unknown event.'"

Since the effort to reduce insurance fraud requires the assistance of courts – both civil and criminal – the prudent fraud investigator, insurance adjuster, insurance attorney, insurance Special Investigation Unit, or insurance management will have the information to deal with state investigators and prosecutors. Insurance Fraud includes the full text of appellate decisions to allow the reader to fully understand the facts gathered by the investigators and prosecutors so that those involved in trying to defeat fraudulent claims can be aware of what courts look at after a suspected fraudulent claim is denied.
