1. Staged Car Accidents

2. You may have heard about the rise in
staged automobile accidents.
These accidents
are set up on
PURPOSE.

3. The goal is to scam the insurance company by
setting you up as the responsible party.
There are many
ways this con
can be
STAGED.

4. A few of the most common scenarios are:
1. They cut you off.
In this example, another car cuts in front of
your car, forcing you
to slam on your brakes
without warning.
The other driver then
claims severe neck or
back pain and sues your
insurance company for
personal injury
damages.

5. 2. They wave on you.

who paused to let you pull in front of him.

pull up anyway,
leaving you no way
to avoid hitting him.

“If it is an insurance scam
then the perpetrator may
lie about the extent of the
damage if there is no
proof.”

pictures.
Almost everybody
has a camera on their
smartphone so take a
picture of the damage
right away.
