What We Think
We understand that claiming insurance can be a complicated process. Insurance companies often make the process so confusing and hard that it becomes challenging for people to pursue it. But there are always cases like these where the claimants end up adopting foul practices in order to ensure that their claim is not rejected. We wouldn’t recommend anyone to try such methods for multiple reasons. First of all, while trying to ‘accidentally’ cause a crash, one might easily get involved or injured if things go out of hand. Secondly, there are chances that the company will find out about the trick and reject the entire claim. In that case, the owner will have to pay for the entire damage from his/her own pocket which could be a huge amount. Therefore, you must stay away from such cases.
