Intent to Defraud:
Automobile Insurance Fraud requires an intent to defraud. Intent to Defraud means that someone intends to deceive another person either to cause a loss of money, goods, services, or something else of value, or to cause damage to a legal, financial, or property right. It is not necessary that anyone be defrauded or actually suffer financial, legal, or property loss.
Defenses:
An experienced criminal defense attorney is critical to provide the best legal representation to defend against these charges, PC 550. For example, there may have been an illegal search and seizure, statements were made in violation of your Miranda Rights, or there was no intent to defraud. There may be many more defenses applicable to your case that an experienced criminal defense attorney will identify.
