We previously mentioned over the next few months that we will be sending out emails informing you "Why Florida Auto Insurance Rates are Increasing" This is part 1 of this series. View part 2 "Protecting Yourself" here. 
Auto Insurance Fraud!
For the past three years, Florida had the highest number of questionable auto claims resulting from staged accidents in the nation. With 1,446 in 2009, Florida represents 30.1 percent of the national total; its number is twice as much as New York which was 765. These numbers, of course, only include proven instances of fraud. We believe much more fraud exists, and is the source of rising costs for everyone.
Tampa, Miami, Orlando and Hialeah areas rank in the top 10 worst cities in America in rates of questionable auto claims. Florida Division of Insurance Fraud estimates that Floridians are paying approximately $400 more each year for auto insurance because of fraud.
