What Does an Insurance Fraud Investigator Do?
As an insurance fraud investigator, your job is to investigate an insurance claim on behalf of your firm to determine whether or not fraud has occurred in any given case. In this role, you may examine the damaged property, coordinate with law enforcement, interview the claimant, and gather information about any casualty that's occurred. Insurance fraud is a crime, but most fraud investigators are not police officers, and you are not expected to arrest fraudsters. Instead, you may be asked to write up a report summarizing your findings and send it to a law enforcement agency. Insurance fraud investigators frequently travel to examine claim sites in person, and you may be asked to do so on short notice.
