What is the average sentence for insurance

fraud?

An insurance fraud case can lead to a prison sentence if you are found guilty and
convicted. Sentences can be anything from a community service order to 6 months or

more imprisonment. You may also be asked to pay a fine.

If you are found to be guilty of leading a criminal ring with the goal of getting payouts
from insurance firms, you are likely to be handed a stiffer sentence.

What are some of the mitigating factors that

might reduce the insurance fraud sentence?

When sentencing for insurance fraud, your case will be investigated thoroughly by the
police, the insurance company and other regulatory agents.

Your case will be studied for whether you have taken part in a group activity or to see if
you were forced into it. If you've been dishonest on your claim forms, or you have used
the identity of others to access more funds, this will be considered to decide your
sentence.

Certain aspects of a case are known as the mitigating aspects which can influence the
sentence that a judge gives. One of the factors judges consider in every case of this nature
is the defendant's level of genuine remorse.

The following are some of the other factors considered when the court decides which
sentence to give. They will look at:

• Any previous conviction
• Your level of remorse

• Your level of cooperation with the investigation
• Whether the activity you took part in was originally legitimate
• Your reputation / good character
• Whether you have any serious medical conditions that require long term, urgent or
intensive treatment

• Whether you have a learning disability or a mental disorder
• Whether you are the sole or primary carer for related dependents
