South Carolina AG Prosecuting More Insurance Fraud Cases

Insurance fraud complaints in South Carolina have reached an all-time high, with more than 1,200 pouring in last year, according to a report released Friday by Attorney General Alan Wilson. The annual report from his office’s Insurance Fraud Division noted attorneys prosecuted cases that resulted in 37 convictions and in more than $700,000 being returned to the victims of insurance fraud. The report cites several notorious cases. In one Darlington County case, three defendants sought payment from a health insurance company claiming they each had all four limbs amputated.
