3 A Study of Insurance Fraud
Abstract
This paper is a study into insurance fraud, based on the book, The Rainmaker. The
Rainmaker shows Rudy Baylor, a young attorney out to make a difference in the justice
system. He is also the only hope of an elderly couple after their corrupt insurance company
refuses to pay out a claim that could save their child's life. In this judicial drama, Baylor rails
against corporate lawyers, corrupt judges, and abusive husbands, all with the help of a fellow
lawyer who hasn't even passed his bar exam. It shows intricacies of the working of law, and
one of the biggest insurance frauds ever committed. This paper contains an investigation of
(1) the different types of insurance frauds (2) their impact over the world (3) the sources of
the fine print policy practice, (2) its immediate effects on the degree to which the policies are
understandable to the insured,

6 A Study of Insurance Fraud
INTRODUCTION
The Rainmaker (1997) is a drama/crime film starring Matt Damon (Rudy Baylor) and Jon
Voight (Leo F. Drummond) in the leading roles. It is based on a John Grisham novel of the
same name.
The movie shows an idealistic young law school graduate, Rudy Baylor, doggedly pursuing
clients and legal work wherever he can find it in order to make a living while he fights
injustice in a legal system that favours the rich and powerful.
The movie portrays how an insurance giant, Great Benefit breaches the implied covenant of
good faith and fair dealing which all insurance companies are subject to, under the United
States law, subsequently leading to the death of Donny Black (son of the Black’s, whom
Rudy was representing) needed a bone-marrow transplant in order to save his life.
The following pages will aim to give complete information about Insurance Frauds and
everything related to them.
7 A Study of Insurance Fraud
The Rainmaker
Plotline
Rudy Baylor is a law graduate from Memphis State Law School. He secures a position with a
Memphis law firm, which he then loses when the firm is bought out by another larger firm.
As one of the few members of his class without a job lined up, Rudy is forced to apply for
part-time and poorly-paid law positions. Desperate for a job, he reluctantly allows "Prince"
Thomas, the crooked owner of a sleazy bar where he's been working part-time, to introduce
him to J. Lyman "Bruiser" Stone, a ruthless but successful ambulance-chasing lawyer, who
makes him an associate. But to earn his fee, Rudy is required to hunt for potential clients at
the local hospital where he must pick up injury cases and sign them up. He is introduced to
Deck Shifflet, a less-than-ethical former insurance assessor, now "paralawyer" (having
graduated from law school but failing to pass the Bar examination after six tries).
Rudy already has two cases which he passionately believes in. One case is putting together a
will for an old woman who becomes his new landlady after he is evicted from his former
home, and another a case of insurance bad faith. He represents a poor family, Dot and Buddy
Black whom he met through a class visit to a community center. The case could be worth
several million dollars in damages, but his personal life is falling to pieces and he is about to
declare himself bankrupt. With his employer about to be raided by the police and the FBI, he
and Deck set up practice themselves and file suit on behalf of the Blacks, whose son Donny
Ray is dying of leukemia but almost certainly could have been saved with a bone marrow
transplant. The procedure should have been covered and paid for by their insurance company,
Great Benefit Life Insurance.
Rudy, having just passed the bar exam, has never argued a case before a judge and jury - but
he now finds himself up against a group of experienced and ruthless lawyers from a large
firm, headed by Leo F. Drummond. It is daunting but he has several supporters and a
sympathetic newly-appointed judge to sustain his commitment. Whilst preparing the case
while waiting in the local hospital, he meets and later falls in love with Kelly Riker, a young
battered wife healing from her latest injuries.
8 A Study of Insurance Fraud
Before the trial commences, the Blacks' son dies. The case goes to trial and Rudy uncovers a
scheme Great Benefit ran throughout 1991 to deny every insurance claim submitted,
regardless of validity. Great Benefit was playing on the odds that the insured would not
consult an attorney. A former employee of Great Benefit testifies that the scheme generated
an extra $40 million in revenue for the company. The trial ends with a plaintiff's verdict of
$50.2 million which is somewhat symbolic because it is the total of the $200,000 transplant
Donny Ray should have received, the $10 million Rudy originally sued for and the $40
million the scheme that killed Donny Ray generated.
Great Benefit quickly declares itself bankrupt, thus allowing it to avoid paying the verdict.
This starts a chain of further lawsuits as well as further financial catastrophes for the
company and they ultimately go out of business. Thus, there is no payout for the grieving
parents and no fee for Rudy, although Dot Black was never concerned with the money from
the trial, so for her helping to put the company out of business represents an even greater
victory. In fact she testified that if awarded any money from Great Benefit, she would donate
all of it to the American Leukemia Society.
During the Black trial, Rudy finds that Kelly is in hiding after another beating from her
husband, Cliff, and is in the process of helping her get a divorce, but never gets the chance.
Rudy ends up being caught by her violent husband while helping her retrieve items from her
home. Cliff attempts to hit Rudy with his softball bat and threatens to kill him. Rudy gets the
bat away from Cliff and strikes him with it. Kelly intervenes and tells him to leave. However,
Cliff dies as a result of the injuries sustained, and Kelly allows herself to be charged with
manslaughter to stop Rudy being prosecuted. Kelly spends a day in jail before Rudy gets her
charges dropped. Rudy is shaken by these events and becomes wary of the practice of law.
He and Kelly leave the area, heading for someplace where Rudy can let his law license expire
and then become a teacher, and Kelly can go to college.
9 A Study of Insurance Fraud
Type of Case
For Rudy and Deck’s first case, they file a bad faith lawsuit for Dot and Buddy Black, whose
son is dying from leukemia and could have been saved with a bone marrow transplant had
their insurance company not repeatedly denied their insurance claim. A bad faith lawsuit is a
civil court case involving an insurance company which has violated their duty to have good
faith and fair dealings with their insured.
Parties
The Black family’s insurance company, Great Benefit, was being represented as the
defendant by a powerhouse law firm headed by the effective but unscrupulous man Leo F.
Drummond. The Black family was being represented as the plaintiff by Rudy, who had never
before argued a case in front a judge or jury.
Damages
Rudy is looking to get several millions dollars out of Great Benefit, the Black’s insurance
company. He believes that if they had rightfully paid for Donny Ray Black’s bone marrow
transplant he could have been saved from the leukemia.
Trial Proceedings
The first step in any civil trial is the selection of the jury. In The Rainmaker, the trial was
selected completely by the standards of the American Bar Association. Even though this was
the case, it was not what Leo Drummond believed because he was listening in on Rudy’s
phone calls and Rudy made it seem like he had tampered with the jury. The opening
statement in the trial was about what the case was, the Black family vs. Great Benefit because
of their denial of the Black family’s insurance claim. Next were the witnesses, these included
Dot Black and the CEO of Great Benefit. The closing argument was a video from Donny Ray
Black on his deathbed saying he would have been saved by a bone marrow transplant.
Instructions to the jury were to find their verdict based on what they thought was right. The
verdict was $150,000 in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages.

Fraud
Fraud is the crime of using dishonest methods to take something valuable from another
person (definition of Fraud as given in Merriam Webster) The legal definition of fraud
defines it as means misappropriating assets or by deliberately misrepresenting or
concealing material facts relevant to some financial decisions or by abusing
responsibility, a position of trust (Section 17 of Indian Contract Act, 1872)
Insurance Fraud
Insurance fraud occurs when any act is committed with the intent to fraudulently obtain
some benefit or advantage to which they are not otherwise entitled or someone
knowingly denies some benefit that is due and to which someone is entitled.
Now in this same case, if the insured paid his $500.00 deductible to the shop and
told the shop to repair his vehicle utilizing the repair estimate his adjuster
provided and the shop doesn’t, then it can constitute fraud.
Germany
A study conducted by the insurance association (GDV) concluded that more than half of all
claims arising from loss or damage to smartphones or tablet PCs could not have arisen and
therefore must have been fraudulent to some extent.
Sweden
Figures from Insurance Sweden (Larmtjänst) reveal that:
France
Figures from the insurance association (FFSA) reveal that 35 042 fraudulent insurance claims
were recorded in 2011, leading to €168m not being paid out to dishonest individuals.
Finland
A study of 1 000 adults conducted by the insurance association (FFI) in 2012 found that 27%
said they knew a person “who has deceived his/her insurance company”. This figure is up
from 25% in a similar study in 2010.
India
According to an Indian association, Out of the total outgoings in health insurance, nearly 25%
are fraudulent claims.1
Consequences of Fraud
Fraudulent claims and the cost of investigating suspected frauds lead to higher premiums for
honest customers. Investigating fraud also has an impact on insurers’ ability to deal with
genuine claims quickly. In addition, evidence from recent studies carried out by insurers
suggests that insurance fraud funds and facilitates other serious crime.
• In Germany, the GDV estimates that the cost of fraud exceeds €4bn per year. • In the
UK, the ABI estimates that fraud adds, on average, an extra £50 (€58) a year to the
annual insurance bill for every policyholder.
• Sweden identified a criminal network that arranged at least 214 staged traffic
accidents. Every major non-life insurance company in the Swedish market was
affected by its activities.
Insurers remain committed to paying all genuine claims as quickly as possible, and strive to
achieve a balance between investigating potential frauds and ensuring that genuine claimants
do not face delays as a result. While insurers must investigate all potential frauds, they do all
they can to ensure that genuine claimants get their claims paid quickly and efficiently.
In France, insurers set up a national body (Agence pour la lutte contre la fraude à
l’assurance, ALFA) in 1989 to investigate suspicious claims. ALFA aims to promote
counter-fraud activities, drawing up suitable tools to assist the industry in combating
fraud. These include: training and certification of fraud investigators, advice on how
to handle fraudulent cases that target several insurers at a time, and advice on
managing relationships with law enforcement agencies.
18 A Study of Insurance Fraud
In Sweden, insurance undertakings have created special investigation units that are
charged with detecting insurance fraud. Insurance Sweden encourages these units to
make police reports of detected or suspected frauds.
In the UK, the Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) focusses on detecting and preventing
organised and cross-industry insurance fraud. The IFB leads or co-ordinates the
industry response to the identification of criminal fraud networks and works closely
with the police and other law enforcement agencies. It encourages and helps people
to report suspected or known frauds anonymously through an insurance cheat-line.
The impact of the IFB has been hugely positive since its launch in July 2006, with
numerous arrests and tens of millions of pounds of savings for insurers and
ultimately their customers.
Insurers have also increased their co-operation with law enforcement agencies in several
countries. This is the case, for example, in Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Ireland,
the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
Evidence from several law enforcement agencies shows that many are unaware of
the simple visual checks that can be made to identify possible stolen private or
commercial vehicles. International efforts to train law enforcement staff have been
initiated by Europol, Interpol and national insurance associations.
In Denmark, insurers are urged to report every documented fraud to the police. F&P
organises exercises at the Danish Police Academy on how to combat insurance
fraud. Former police officers are often employed in the insurance industry to assist
with detection and evidence-gathering.
In Croatia, the insurance association initiated a Protocol on Cooperation to Combat
Insurance Fraud in 2002. The Protocol formalises cooperation both between insurers
and between insurers and third parties such as the police, the judiciary and other
agencies. The Protocol has an international reach and is signed by several other
national insurance associations in the region, including Austria, the Czech Republic,
Slovenia and Hungary.
In the UK, the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) is funded by
insurers. Set up in January 2012, it forms part of the City of London Police, the
UK’s lead police force for economic crime and insurance fraud. It investigates
potential frauds referred by insurers in all types of insurance. In its first nine months
19 A Study of Insurance Fraud
of operation, IFED made over 200 arrests with £12m (€14m) of suspected insurance
fraud under investigation.
In Spain, almost all insurance undertakings have appointed fraud representatives.
These representatives have access to a confidential extranet containing data from the
police about current investigations.
Training of insurance staff and police is widely used to raise awareness of fraud, to show
how to detect it and to highlight the new and ever-changing methods used by fraudsters.
In Denmark, F&P organises seminars on insurance fraud for its members. Seminars
are aimed at general insurance fraud, but can also be tailored to specific areas, such
as car immobilisers and car keys, luggage handling at airports, fraud via internet
freight exchange, codes of ethics for investigators, fraud in household content
insurance and so on. Training is provided to those working in fraud detection,
including insurance investigators, chief claim handlers and specialist claim handlers.
In Germany, annual training is given to claims adjusters to teach them how to detect
and combat fraud. The training is conducted by practitioners from the insurance
industry, legal advisors, technical specialists, police experts and medical scientists.
Participants can take an exam to acquire a certificate of expertise in detection.
In the UK, bodies like the IFB and IFED run specialist workshops for counter-fraud
staff, and many insurance companies additionally run training schemes at induction
and throughout employees’ careers and appoint “fraud champions” who emphasise
and remind colleagues of the possibility of fraud in all areas of the business.
In Finland, the insurance federation has been organising seminars and training with
the police, other authorities and the media for 30 years.
20 A Study of Insurance Fraud
Generally, breach of contract and bad faith are the most common law suits filed against
insurance companies. In breach of contract, you sue to have the value of the denied benefit or
service, along with the value of any damages you sustained be returned to you.
Example: Your insurance company would not pay for a surgery that cost $2,500. After
this you spent another $2,500 in doctor bills because you were still sick. If you had the
surgery, you probably would not have had to spend this extra money. You sue your
insurance company for breach of contract. If you win, they will have to pay you for the
surgery ($2,500) and the damages you sustained ($2,500 in extra medical services).
In bad faith, you are saying that it was unreasonable for the insurance company to refuse to
pay your claim. You sue them to recover the damages for emotional distress, interest on out-
of-pocket losses and fees for your lawyer. This would be basically the same as the example
given above. You just get more money. You would get money for the surgery and damages.
21 A Study of Insurance Fraud
In this case you would also be awarded money for "pain and suffering" so to speak. You
would also get money to pay for your lawyer.
The reason that you can sue your insurance company for this is because all insurance policies
obligate the insurance company to "good faith and fair dealing." This means that when you
submit a claim to the insurance company, they cannot just look for reasons to deny it. They
need to give equal consideration to their own interests and your interests. In extreme cases of
bad faith where the insurance company engaged in malicious or willful misconduct, you can
also sue them for punitive and exemplary damages. You would get paid back for your
surgery, damages, emotional distress and fees for your lawyer. The insurance company would
also be fined as punishment for their actions. They would also have to pay this money to you.
Under some circumstances you may even be able to sue your insurance company for
infliction of emotional distress and fraud. However, these types of cases are very rare and
usually only happen in extreme circumstances.
Fine Print
‘[w]hat the big print giveth the fine print taketh away2
2
Sheen, J.F., Tudor Bunch of Dates (1992).
22 A Study of Insurance Fraud
Challenges arising from complex legalistic language in insurance are related to more general
problems connected to fine print and specialized jargon in other parts of society. Statements
made by lawyers and other academics and experts are often so laden with specialized jargon
that the ordinary person is excluded from understanding them and participating in genuine
dialogue. Only people belonging to the same professional circle can truly grasp the content of
the utterances. In some cases, the complexity of the issue at hand demands a correspondingly
complex set of concepts to be appropriately expressed and discussed.
In other cases, the academic jargon takes the upper hand even if the phenomena under
scrutiny can be described in simpler and more publicly accessible terms.
Insurance contains a promise of indemnification from the insurer to the insured. A promise is
an expression of a commitment to a particular course of action, an intention to respond to a
certain kind of event in a particular way. It narrows down the options available to the
promisor in relation to the promisee, should those specified events occur. When promises are
expressed in fine print documents, the actual content of the promise is blurred, at least in the
eyes of a non-expert.
Their interpretation of the insurer’s promise at the time of purchasing the insurance is
revealed to be misguided or wrong. Harald Sverdrup, director of The Norwegian Financial
Services Complaints Board in Norway (interview with nrk.no, 13.10.10), has drawn the
general conclusions that
(t)here is a considerable gap between what people believe they will receive insurance
payment for, and the reality. People believe they are better covered than they actually
are3.
In the case of M/S United India Insurance…vs Jai Parkash Tayal4, it has been stated that
The fine print of an insurance contract is not easily understandable by a layman, who
operates primarily on the basis of trust and faith. Standard form contracts, especially
insurance policies, do not provide a choice to the consumer whether to sign up or not.
Under such circumstances, the principle of uberima fides applies, on the insurance
companies and the insured, as held by the Supreme Court in Hanil Era Textiles Ltd v
Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd & Ors (2001) 1 SCC 269.

23 A Study of Insurance Fraud
"Learned Author E.R. Hardy Evamy, in his book relating to Fire & Motor Insurance, 2nd
Edn., on p.7, has observed:
"The contract of fire insurance, like other contracts of insurance, differs from any
ordinary contarct in that it requires, throughout its existence, the utmost good faith
(uberrima fides) to be observed on the part of both the insured and the insurers...."
It is important to note that therapies such as acupuncture and naturopathy are not
covered, whereas consulting fees and diagnostic charges are covered.
is the length of time during which you cannot claim benefits from the insurance
company.
Irrespective of what happens to you, you will have to wait for the “waiting period”
to get over before making a claim. The waiting periods can be of three different
types; initial, disease specific and pre-existing ailment.
In case of the initial waiting period, if you fall ill within 30 to 90 days from the
start of the policy, you will not receive any help. If you are suffering from an
adverse medical condition the waiting period can vary from few months to a few
years, depending upon your medical condition. For specific diseases, the waiting
period can go up to 2 years from the commencement of the policy.
The problem arises when you realize that the hospital has better rooms. If you
occupy a room that costs more than the room rent expense covered by the policy,
the remaining amount has to be borne out of your pocket.
All the other expenses that you incur will be charged as per the room type. The
insurance company will not only deduct the room charges above your eligibility,
but all other hospital charges will be proportionately deducted except for products
with MRP.
Make sure that you clarify this point with your insurance agent, before deciding
on the policy. The insurance company is not bound to remind you about a policy
renewal. It is advisable that you renew a policy before the expiry date. You would
25 A Study of Insurance Fraud
not be able to enjoy the benefits and discounts that you are entitled to, if you do
not renew your policy on time.
CONCLUSION
Detecting and reducing insurance fraud is a key priority for insurers. Insurance fraud
is not a victimless crime. This is reflected in the serious consequences for those found
guilty of fraud, which can include custodial sentences. Honest customers should not
have to pay the price for fraudsters through higher premiums. The insurance industry
continues to strengthen its systems and controls to ensure that all types of fraud are
detected and prevented — whether committed at the application or the claims stage —
to minimise the cost of fraud to insurers and therefore the impact on honest customers.
Insurers’ methods are constantly evolving to combat changes in fraudster behaviour.
