Minnesota Ranks Third In The Nation For Staged Accidents

Minnesota is one of the fastest growing states in the country for insurance fraud, but that could change soon because of tough new laws that go into effect Aug. 1. Last year, the number of staged crashes and fake medical claims in Minnesota rose an alarming 22 percent. That’s 3rd in the nation behind Florida and New York. “There’s a marked increase in the number of staged accident rings,” Mark Kulda of the Insurance Federation of Minnesota said. “So these are professionals who have come out to the roads and they actually fake an accident.”
