Minn. Coalition Urges Insurance Fraud Crackdown

Insurers, prosecutors and lawmakers from both parties argued Thursday that loose Minnesota laws encourage insurance scammers as the coalition made a case for 11 legislative measures they say will crack down on costly fraud. The proposals headed to the Legislature for consideration in the upcoming session represent a rare area of partisan consensus around the state’s no-fault insurance laws. They were honed through a working group that drew in factions from the medical, insurance and trial lawyer communities.
