A recent report from the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) highlighted the problems that the state of New York is currently facing as a result of fraud and abuse that is exploiting its no-fault auto insurance system. According to the I.I.I., the total bill for fraudulent claims and abuse of the no-fault system in New York in 2010 was $204 million. Who footed this bill? Why, honest drivers in New York, of course, along with auto insurance companies. This $204 million created, in essence, a “fraud tax” of a whopping $1,311 per claim – or 15 percent of each no-fault claim – the I.I.I. report noted.
