Insurance Fraud Lawyers: Defending Clients Against Allegations in Texas
Common Defenses Against Insurance Fraud Charges
Skilled insurance fraud defense lawyers know how to build a strong defense by undermining the prosecution’s case. Here are some of the most effective legal defenses:
Lack of Criminal Intent
For a conviction, prosecutors must prove you knowingly and intentionally meant to deceive the insurance company. Your lawyer can argue you made an honest mistake or had a reasonable misunderstanding rather than criminal intent[2].
Insufficient Evidence
By closely examining the evidence, your attorney can potentially find inconsistencies, procedural errors, inadmissible evidence, and other weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Without solid evidence, the charges may be dismissed.
Entrapment
If law enforcement pressured or induced you into committing fraud you otherwise wouldn’t have, an entrapment defense may succeed. This is especially relevant in undercover sting operations[3].
Good Faith
You may have had a sincere, reasonable belief that the information you provided was accurate at the time, even if it later proved to be incorrect. This good faith argument could undermine allegations you “knowingly” defrauded the insurer[4].
The Importance of an Experienced Legal Team
Facing insurance fraud charges can be overwhelming. An experienced criminal defense firm can immediately start investigating your case, preserving evidence, and developing a strategy. Specifically, your lawyers may[5]:
- Negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges or a dismissal
- Suppress evidence improperly obtained by police
- Challenge the admissibility and veracity of the prosecution’s evidence
- Present expert testimony to rebut the prosecution’s witnesses
- Advise you throughout the legal process so you understand your options
