HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Fraud can occur in any aspect of a claim, from a staged accident, to a body shop enhancing damage, or even charging for work that was not performed. Doctors or medical providers can be involved in fraud by billing for treatment that was not given or was not necessary.

  • If you are in an accident and have a camera, take pictures of all vehicles and send them to Country-Wide.
  • After an accident, obtain as much information as you can and always call the police.
  • If you are injured, compare the bill with the treatment you received.
  • Review the repair bill to your car to make sure that all charges are legitimate.
  • Watch out for “runners.” These are individuals who are improperly paid a referral fee to “steer” you to a certain doctor or lawyer.
  • Remember to call the Country-Wide Fraud Hotline immediately if you suspect anything suspicious about your claim!
