California targets fraud scams: Insurance chief says consumers pick up the tab for crimes

Steve Poizner figures insurance scams cost each California consumer an extra $500 a year for coverage.

Vowing to come down on insurance cheats “like a ton of bricks,” the insurance commissioner has put fraud high on his agenda during his first 100 days and launched a crackdown across the state.

“Insurance fraud is so rampant in California that it causes insurance to be more expensive than it needs to be,” Poizner said Tuesday during a noontime speech to the Sacramento Press Club. “We”re going to attack fraud aggressively and drive down costs.”
