Life insurance companies make their money by calculating risk and adjusting premiums accordingly. Their whole business comes down to a simple equation. Take in more premiums than you pay out in claims. If they assess risk incorrectly, they can find themselves in a tough financial situation, which could be the reason we’ve seen a number of life insurance company fraud cases in Virginia over the last few years.
If you’re not familiar with the term, life insurance company fraud is when a life insurance company inflates premium payments for policyholders for no other reason than to maximize their profits. Here’s how it works. You secure a life insurance policy and pay your agreed-upon premiums on-time without fail. Then one day you get a notice that your premiums are sky rocketing. You either pay the inflated premiums for the exact same policy or you cancel the policy that you’ve been paying into for years.
