The RICO Act, also known as The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, is an act passed by the United States Congress to allow anyone who has been financially injured by a pattern of criminal activity to seek redress through the state or federal courts.
Racketeering activities, upon which a RICO claim can be based includes a number of state criminal violations, such as murder, kidnapping, bribery, and arson. It can also include federal crimes, such as mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, obstruction of justice, interstate transportation of stolen property, and extortion. The RICO Act defines a “pattern” as at least two acts of racketeering activity. If you think you may have a RICO claim, it is best to review all of the crimes listed in the RICO Act with a trained defense attorney.
There are two types of insurance fraud: hard fraud and soft fraud. Hard fraud occurs when a person intentionally fakes an accident, theft, injury, or death, in order to collect money from the insurance companies. Soft fraud, on the other hand, occurs when a person has a valid insurance claim, but falsifies part of the claim or exaggerates the damages that occurred in order to obtain the maximum benefits. Insurance fraud can take place in regards to life insurance, health insurance, auto insurance, and property insurance claims.
