State targets insurance fraud - Jacksonville Business Journal:: "Dozens of individuals from Pensacola to Miami are to be arrested this week for insurance fraud schemes the government estimated to total at least $1 million. The state said the majority of the charges will fall under workers' compensation fraud.
That includes both claim fraud and employer fraud.
The state said its second-largest category of charges involve auto insurance fraud, from staged accidents to fraudulent personal injury protection (PIP) insurance claims.
Some of the cases involve insurance agents accused of defrauding customers and several homeowner claim fraud cases, the state added.
Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink disclosed the three-day operation - the culmination of months of investigations - stating she wants to send a strong message that Florida will not tolerate this costly crime."
