Ontario Fraudulent Claims Defence Representation
Insurance fraud, the act of making fraudulent claims for insurance benefits, is an issue that appears in a variety of different forms throughout the Greater Toronto Area and southern Ontario. These cases can be very complex, making the assistance and counsel of a knowledgeable defence lawyer particularly valuable.
Damien R. Frost, a criminal defence lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience, works closely with clients who face accusations of insurance fraud. Before talking to the insurance company about the situation, contact Mr. Frost to learn about your rights.

Internal Insurance Company Investigations
Before insurance fraud matters are turned over to the police, they are often investigated internally by the insurance company. A lawyer who is involved early on in the process is often able to achieve a resolution to the matter before criminal charges are filed, saving his clients from the stress and financial strain of a criminal case.
Criminal Penalties for Insurance Fraud
A conviction arising from insurance fraud charges can result in a number of penalties, depending on your previous criminal record. If you have previously been involved in fraud, the chances of incarceration increase. If you have no prior convictions or a compelling personal circumstance, a conviction could result in a fine or lesser penalty.
