Uncovering fraudulent claims such as for hit-and-runs, property damages from hail, and fake injuries and accidents saved Manitoba ratepayers $12.5 million last year, says Manitoba Public Insurance.
Some element of fraud was involved in about half of the 2,800 suspected cases investigated by MPI in 2005, the Crown insurance corporation said Thursday.
Ron Oliver, of MPI’s special investigations unit, showed a video Thursday of a man alleged to have bilked the insurer.
